Vikrant Massey reveals his WhatsApp and car number were leaked after The Sabarmati Report was released: People threatened me openly

Vikrant Massey has opened up about the online abuse and threats he faced following the release of The Sabarmati Report. In a recent conversation with Shekhar Suman on his YouTube show Shekhar Tonite, the actor recalled how the backlash surrounding the film affected him personally, particularly at a time when he had recently become a father. The Sabarmati Report, released in 2024, was based on the 2002 Godhra train fire. Massey played one of the lead roles in the film, which drew strong reactions after its release, with some critics and viewers describing it as propaganda. Recalling the response he faced, Massey said he remained proud of being part of the film despite the criticism. I did a film called The Sabarmati Report, and I am extremely proud of that film. When I did that film, people used the word you used: propaganda. People called that film propaganda. We made it on the Godhra train burning. We made it on the burning of the Sabarmati Express, he said. The actor then spoke about the extent of the abuse he allegedly faced online. According to Massey, his personal information was circulated, and he received direct threats. I had to listen to a lot of abuse. My WhatsApp number was leaked. My car number was leaked. People threatened me openly, Massey recalled. The situation became particularly difficult because his son had been born around the same period. Massey said his baby was only six months old when he was dealing with the backlash and admitted that the experience had a significant emotional impact on him. My son had just been born then. He was just six months old. I was heavily impacted and I openly said this in the media, he added. Vikrant Massey on choosing family over career Massey also reflected on his decision to take a break from acting after a successful period in his career. He said, I had a great run in 2023 and 2024 due to 12th Fail, Sector 36, The Sabarmati Report. Around this time, I was away from my house and my son was born. I was finally feeling the fame, but there was a void. I was missing my family and my son, he said. Massey also recalled the emotional conflict he experienced as his career reached a high point. He said, I was having an unbelievable stage. I was recognised by the PM. He watched the film. I was overwhelmed with the entire experience. When my son started to say Papa, and I couldn't be there, I would cry and think, I did wish for success, but at what cost? Reflecting on the online criticism, Massey said his perspective eventually changed. However, over time, I realised that they are all cowards and it doesn't matter to me what people talk about me. What matters is that my own people are my responsibility. I am answerable to them, he added. Massey had announced a break from acting in December 2024, citing a need to recalibrate his priorities. He has since returned to screen work and was most recently seen in the Netflix series Musafir Cafe.

Munawar Faruqui lashes out after The Traitors Season 2 elimination: They are all scared, insecure bunch of people

The second season of The Traitors has started with high drama, unexpected eliminations and accusations among the contestants. Hosted by Karan Johar, the reality show returned with its first three episodes, introducing viewers to a game filled with suspicion and betrayal. Comedian Munawar Faruqui became one of the biggest talking points after he was eliminated during the first Circle of Shaq. During the first round, Munawar openly accused Mallika Sherawat of being a traitor. However, his strategy raised suspicions among several contestants, who felt that he was behaving like a traitor himself. As the voting began, Munawar received the highest number of votes and was eliminated from the game. The actual traitors at that point were Kullu, Krystle DSouza and Harman Singha, while Shahneel Gill was later recruited as the fourth traitor in the second episode. After his elimination, Munawar addressed the contestants and said that he had expected to be targeted. He said, I had expected this to happen to me. I knew I would have to face it. This often happens to me. It is not the first time. This is not the first time that I have been targeted. He further accused the contestants of acting out of insecurity, adding, Call me a soft target or someone too good to be there. I can clearly see through the insecurities of other people, and you will see how end up looking. Because your insecurities will be visible. When Karan Johar asked Munawar to reveal whether he was a traitor or an innocent, the comedian appeared emotional and strongly reacted. F*** off, guys! I was playing the game! I wanted to play it well! I am an innocent! F*** off, insecure bunch of people. They thought I would eat them up here. They are all scared. Now recognise who is the one amongst you, he said. Meanwhile, Dalip Tahil became the first contestant to leave the game after receiving the least number of gold coins, while Karan Singh Magic became the first contestant to be murdered by the traitors.
