Vikrant Massey’s recent Karwa Chauth photos with his wife, Sheetal Thakur, indeed struck a chord with fans. The series of images, especially the one where Vikrant respectfully touches Sheetal’s feet, sparked a variety of reactions online. Many praised the actor’s gesture as a heartfelt tribute to his wife, seeing it as a symbol of respect and equality in their relationship. However, a portion of netizens criticized him for it, leading Vikrant to address the backlash with a grounded response.
In a candid chat with *The Lallantop*, Vikrant explained that showing respect in this way is his way of maintaining harmony at home. He shared that, while six photos were taken on his phone, only four made it online, and it was those few images that generated such strong opinions. Vikrant expressed his genuine surprise at the negative reactions, noting that he was simply sharing a personal moment that reflects his own values. He added that, to him, touching Sheetal’s feet symbolizes the blessings she brings into his life, comparing her presence to that of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity.
For Vikrant, this tradition of mutual respect is something that has become integral to their relationship. He reflected that Sheetal’s presence over the years has brought him only positive changes, a sentiment he values deeply and cherishes by continuing to honor her in these small, meaningful ways.
The Karwa Chauth post, captioned simply as “Ghar,” captured this intimacy perfectly, featuring Sheetal looking lovingly at him through the traditional sieve and the couple exchanging reverent gestures. The two, who share a long and close journey—from their time together on the web series *Broken but Beautiful* to their pandemic-postponed wedding in 2022 and recent parenthood—have demonstrated their relationship is one built on mutual love, respect, and joy in shared traditions.
