12th Fail star Vikrant Massey beams with joy as he poses with Kareena Kapoor Khan, says, 'I fell in love all over again'

Bollywood actor Vikrant Massey, who recently delivered a box office winner in the form of 12th Fail, shared a pic of him with Kareena Kapoor Khan, where we can see him flaunting his million-dollar smile. Sharing the image, the talented actor wrote, “I’ve always loved her. But this day, I fell in love all over again.”

Vikrant Massey’s _12th Fail_ has garnered appreciation from all corners of the country including stars like Kamal Haasan and others. Talking about the preparation of his character, Vikrant told Firstpost, “Very challenging, although I don’t say things like these too much; this one particular character was very demanding. For example, I had to learn the language and the dialect which everyone has to do but I had to go the extra mile because Vinod Chopra didn’t want any makeup, he wanted me to naturally darken my skin as much as possible. To achieve that, I would apply mustard oil and sit on my terrace and sun bathe, and wait for my skin to peel off just like onion peel. What was also required was to understand the dialect and the student culture. I wasn’t aware of this kind of student culture where people are really aspiring for government jobs or wanting to contribute from their end to the society. It’s a difficult sphere to be in and very challenging. If you see the trailer, only 30-40% students get select from the Hindi medium and that’s the truth. These are the people that come from very very challenged sections of the society. To have the ability to restart when you fail, it’s a major challenge. I did spend a lot of time with students and I got to know their perspective and why they are doing this. It opens up your world.” 12th Fail, based on a true story, draws from the struggles of the millions of students who attempt the UPSC entrance exam. But at the same time, it goes beyond that one exam and encourages people to not lose heart in the face of failure and to restart.
