TV, films, short films and web series — actor Vikrant Massey seems to be everywhere. The 32-year-old, who will next be seen opposite Deepika Padukone in Meghna Gulzar’s Chhapaak, says he works out to keep fit, but doesn’t believe in diets.

“My guilty pleasure is sweets. Especially when I’m in Kolkata, I gorge on baked rosogollas. I generally have eight or 10 big rosogollas in one go. In Mumbai, my guilty pleasure is chaat,” says Vikrant Massey(Aalok Soni/HT PHOTO)

My guilty pleasure is sweets. Especially when I’m in Kolkata, I gorge on baked rosogollas. I generally have eight or 10 big rosogollas in one go. In Mumbai, my guilty pleasure is chaat. I still go to the popular chaat place in Bandra that my grandmother used to take me to.
