Vikrant Massey’s decision to take a break from acting has gone viral on the internet, especially after the huge success of his recent films. As the actor later clarified, what his fans thought was his permanent retirement from acting was actually an indefinite break from the profession. And now, at a media event, the actor revealed the reason behind his decision. Citing family reasons, the actor shared that he wants to spend more time with his family, especially now that he is a new parent.
“The life I always dreamed of is finally here, so I thought it’s time to live it. I want to take a break, because at the end of the day, everything is momentary, that’s why That’s all I’m doing.” A film next year,” the actor mentioned at the event.
Referring to social media as one of the reasons for this break, the actor further added, “The pressure of social media was an important part of me sharing that break after work, which I admit. I am a big fan of public life. Live, and am extremely introvert-ish. Someone has to be on social media, but if someone gives me a choice, I will be on it selectively, whenever I feel like sharing something.”
“And then my son was born, I couldn’t spend any quality time with him or my wife. It was all happening at once. So, that’s why I wrote in that Instagram post, that as an actor As a son, father and a husband, it was time for me to reevaluate and after doing what I did professionally, I thought, ‘What else can I do in this country as an actor? Could have done?’ I just want to better myself as an artist moving forward,” he adds.
On December 2, Vikrant announced in a post on Instagram that he would be taking a sabbatical from acting. “The past few years and the years since have been phenomenal. I thank you all for your unfailing support. But as I move forward, I realize it is time for me to get back to work.” And go back home. As a husband, a father and an actor too,” he wrote.
He ended his post by writing, “So come 2025, we will meet each other for the last time. Until the time feels right. The last 2 films and many years of memories. Thank you once again. Everything in between and Forever indebted for everything.”
