MUMBAI: Vikrant Massey shared the most 'embarrassing' incident that happened to him as a child. The actor will star with Taapsee Pannu and Harshvardhan Rane in Haseen Dillruba, which is inspired by pulp thrillers.

In an interview, Vikrant and his co-stars were asked if they'd ever been caught watching something inappropriate. He remembered an incident that happened at his grandmother's house.

"The most embarrassing incident happened at my nani's house. My cousins and I were watching, and my masi (aunt) walked in. We never thought she'd be up at 3 am... Then the walk of shame. I was staying at my nani's house for a few days, and whenever I'd run into my masi, getting a glass of water or something, I'd be ashamed to look her in the eye. It was very, very embarrassing," he said.

He added, "But my masi was very kind. She never told my mom or anyone else. It was understood that the kids have grown up."

Taapsee recalled having to watch whatever her dad wanted to, and the entire family feeling awkward every time an 'explicit scene' would show up.

Harshvardhan remembered the cheap Hindi novels that would be available and the B-grade films that some theatres would show. He said that these films were scams, as you'd have to wait hours just to watch a few scenes.

Directed by Vinil Mathew and written by Kanika Dhillon, Haseen Dillruba will stream on Netflix on Friday.
