When On-Screen Chemistry Turned Into Real-Life Love: Vikrant & Sheetal’s Journey

We always hear this story in fairytales—a boy meets a girl, they fall in love at first sight, and live their happily ever after. In Bollywood, we have Vikrant Massey and Sheetal Thakur who prove that fairytales do come true.

Vikrant and Sheetal were introduced by a mutual friend in 2015. But it wasn’t until 2018, when they started working together on Broken But Beautiful, that their bond deepened. Vikrant later shared in a podcast with Rhea Chakraborty how Sheetal’s words left a lasting impression on him: “When we met again, she told me something that turned out to be true. She said, ‘The moment I saw you, I saw the father of my kids.’ It might sound creepy, but today, we’re parents to a wonderful boy. It’s crazy how life turns out.”

He also shared how a trip to Karjat made him realise just how much he missed her: “We had that awkward side hug, front hug moment before I left, and I just couldn’t stop thinking about her. I was on the phone with her the whole time. My friends even asked, ‘Why did you come here?’”

Constant Companionship Through Thick & Thin

After Lootera, Vikrant went through a rough patch in his career, struggling to land film roles. During this time, Sheetal stood firmly by his side, supporting him both emotionally and financially. She supported Vikrant for six months while he searched for new film projects. When nothing materialised, he returned to television with Qubool Hai. Slowly but surely, the film offers started coming again.

Their on-screen chemistry blossomed into a real-life romance and enduring companionship. Vikrant and Sheetal chose to live together before marriage—a decision encouraged by Vikrant’s mother so they could understand each other better.

They had a private roka ceremony in November 2019, and in 2022, after eight years of being together, they tied the knot in a dreamy, intimate Himachal wedding. Their son, Vardaan, was born on February 7, 2024. Vikrant says, “Ever since she entered my life, only good things have happened. I proudly say that I touch her feet, because she’s the Lakshmi of my home.”

In a world where relationships often face the test of time, Vikrant and Sheetal’s journey is a beautiful reminder that love, when nurtured with patience, respect, and unwavering support, can bloom into something truly timeless. Their story isn't just a fairytale—it’s a testament to real love, built not in a moment, but over years of standing by each other, through success, struggle, and everything in between.
