National Award-winning actor Vikrant Massey recently met the Union Minister of Education, Dharmendra Pradhan.

On Monday, the actor took to his Instagram, and shared pictures from his meeting. He also penned a long note in the caption, and shared the highlights of his conversation with the minister.

He wrote, "Insightful, productive and empowering. A wonderfully stimulating conversation with Hon. Minister of Education, GOI Shri @dpradhanbjp ji. Your love for Bhartiya Bhasha & encouraging the youth of our country to embrace their roots is truly inspiring. Thank you for being so open, and allowing the space to share some ideas that would make our classrooms more vibrant and interactive. Wishing you the best of health, happiness and success for all your heartfelt endeavours".

Earlier, the actor was honoured with the Best Actor award for his powerful performance as IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma in '12th Fail', a biographical drama that also won Best Feature Film. He shared the Best Actor honour with Shah Rukh Khan, who won for 'Jawan', marking a rare tie in the category and highlighting the diversity of acting talent recognised that year.

He described the honour as not just a celebration but a reminder of the responsibility that comes with such recognition and expressed deep gratitude toward the jury and his collaborators.

The win cemented his status as one of India's most respected actors, applauded for authentic portrayals and storytelling rooted in real-life struggles and perseverance. The actor was last seen in 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' which was a critical and commercial disaster.

Vikrant is known for his work across television, films, and streaming platforms. He began his career in television with shows like 'Dhoom Machaao Dhoom' and 'Balika Vadhu', before transitioning to cinema with supporting roles in films such as 'Lootera' and 'Dil Dhadakne Do'.

He gained wider recognition for performances in 'A Death in the Gunj', 'Chhapaak', and 'Haseen Dillruba'. He is widely regarded for his naturalistic acting style and choice of content-driven projects.

Great to see this! After 12th Fail, he's the perfect person to talk about education and perseverance. Hope some concrete ideas come out of this meeting for our government schools.

Respectfully, while I appreciate the intent, I hope this isn't just a photo-op. Our education system needs serious, systemic reform - less focus on rote learning, more on critical thinking and skills. Hope the minister listens to actual educators too.

Vikrant Massey always comes across as so thoughtful and genuine. From Balika Vadhu to 12th Fail, his journey is incredible. If anyone can bring a fresh perspective to the education conversation, it's him.

"Vibrant and interactive classrooms" - this is the key! Our kids spend so much time on phones and tablets, we need to make learning in school just as engaging. Good initiative.
