Actor Vikrant Massey, who marked his Bollywood debut with the 2013 film, Lootera, has become a household name after starring in Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 12th Fail. Vikrant is currently gearing up for Phir Aayi Haseen Dillruba.

The actor recently discussed moral policing in Hindi cinema and how Tu Hai Meri Kiran, the popular song from Shah Rukh Khan, and Juhi Chawla's 1993 film, Darr would have been canceled in today's times.

During a recent interview with Times Now, Vikrant Massey shared his two cents that if the makers had composed Tu Hai Meri Kiran (Jaadu Teri Nazar) in today's times, the "borderline woke" generation would have "denounced" it.

The 12th Fail actor shared that he was listening to the iconic song featuring Juhi Chawla with someone at night.

"Woh aaj ke date me likha hota toh aaj ki generation hai jo borderline woke hai, woh is gaane ko bhi denounced kardeti (Today's generation, which is borderline woke, would've denounced it.) Where do you draw the line?" he said.

The actor further shared that it is "unfortunate" that moral policing has entered into the creative arts space. It is "reflecting" in the last 9 years, he said, while adding that it "shouldn't be a thing".
