While studying, Vikram acted in plays and received many awards along with a good name. Once, while receiving an award, he had a big accident. Vikram was seriously injured in that accident and they said his leg had to be amputated.

But Vikram's mother did not agree to that at all. She said that she would get treatment anywhere but she said no to amputating the leg. With that, Vikram had to be confined to a wheelchair for 4 years at the beginning of his career, according to reports.
