Sharing their elation with a heartfelt announcement, Vikrant and Sheetal expressed their overflowing love and joy as they embraced parenthood.
Amidst his personal milestones, Vikrant continues to thrive professionally, garnering acclaim for his roles in recent projects. His portrayal in the movie “12th Fail,” directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, has garnered attention for its portrayal of UPSC aspirants and the challenges they face. Vikrant’s upcoming ventures, including the second installment of “Haseen Dilruba” and “The Sabarmati Report,” underscore his versatility and commitment to diverse storytelling.
