What does Vikrant Massey say about religion?

The actor explained how religion is a complicated topic for him, but he believes in faith, and said, “I think religion is a personal choice. For me, it’s a way of life. I think everyone has the right to choose their religion. Mere ghar pe har prakaar ke religion aapko milenge. I think religion is man-made. Mai pooja karta, gurudwara bhi jaata hun, dargah bhi jaata hun (I offer prayers, I go to the gurdwara, and I also visit dargah). I get peace with all of this.”

Why did Vikrant Massey leave his son’s religion blank?

He then spoke about how he doesn’t want his son to discriminate against people based on religion or caste, and said, “On the birth certificate of my baby boy, we left the space for religion blank. So when his birth certificate came from the government, there was no religion stated on it. Toh yeh nahi hai ki sarkaar aapko bolti hai likhna padega (So it’s not like the government forces you to write it). It depends on you. The moment we got his birth certificate, I put a dash in the religion column. I will be so heartbroken if I realise my son is treating anyone on the basis of the practices they follow. I am not raising my son that way.”
