During his recent appearance on Sahitya AajTak 2023, Vikrant shared insights into his journey in the film industry, which commenced when he was just 15 years old. He candidly discussed the challenges he faced and the motivation behind seeking work at a young age, driven by the desire not to burden his father with college fees.
