Vikrant Dedicates First National Award to Marginalised Communities | Shares an Emotional Picture

Actor Vikrant Massey has won the 'Best Actor' National Film Award for his moving performance in '12th Fail' (2023). In a deeply personal statement, he expressed that it is a privilege to share this accolade with Shah Rukh Khan, who received the same honour for 'Jawan', marking SRK’s first-ever National Award. Massey described the award as a 20-year-old boy’s dream come true, and dedicated it to all marginalised people, those often overlooked and fighting socio-economic barriers every single day. He also expressed gratitude toward director Vidhu Vinod Chopra, and the audiences who embraced the film.
