“We see it very often. Some actors even come on set and their first priority is to make and upload reels. I won’t drop their name even though I might go viral for saying this. But that person knows and that person got to know about it there and then so my purpose was solved at that time. I say things on the face and I don’t have anything apart from my work. I love my job and acting is the only thing that O can do and it is everything for me,” said Massey.

Talking about Farhan Akhtar, he added, "I am really inspired by him. What does he not have in life? He is the son of Javed Akhtar. On Dil Dhadakne Do set, he was the actor, he was also the producer, his sister Zoya Akhtar was making the film. But when that person would come for rehearsals, he never carried the script in his hand. He remembered all his lines and even the lines of other people in the scene. If a person like Farhan Akhtar can do his homework then you should be ashamed of yourself.”
