Massey spoke with Samdish and provided some interesting details about Chopra’s personality and work ethic. “Vidhu Vinod Chopra is incredibly passionate,” he revealed. “He still works 16 hours a day, goes to bed at 2 a.m., and still wakes up for a 7 a.m. walk. He’s a faster walker than I am. The food he gets at his house is great. He has a five-star chef in his house.”

I longed to explore film.” His decision surprised his family. “They were shocked,” he said. “I was earning a monthly salary of 35 million rupees, which is a huge amount for someone from my background. But I was yearning for a good job and peace.”
Despite his initial struggles, Massey persevered. he confessed. “When I had a monthly contract of Rs 35 million, I quit television. I decided to get a good job and find peace. My savings were depleted in a year, and then… My wife Sheetal (his girlfriend at the time) also gave me some pocket money for the audition. ”
