Never feel arrogant about getting good marks: Vikrant Massey tells students on Pariksha Pe Charcha 

Vikrant Massey shared words of wisdom with school students in the episode that aired on Sunday. Talking to the youngsters, the 12th Fail actor shared, “We all know how to subconsciously visualise. You can take out 10 minutes a day to write about your feelings and what you wish to achieve in a journal... It's a kind of manifestation.” He emphasised that practising the “power of visualisation” can go a long way.

Vikrant also stressed that it is important to study in a manner that stays with them in the long run. He told the students, "Never feel arrogant about getting good marks. Keep your eyes low and your thinking high. That's very important. Study to pass in life, not just exams. Be kind to yourself and if you do not meet your expectations, restart."
