Bollywood actor Vikrant Massey recently made headlines with his announcement about retirement from films. However, in a follow-up statement, he clarified that his comments had been misunderstood by many. Vikrant, who gained national recognition with his film “12th Fail,” expressed that he intended to convey a desire for a break from the relentless pace of the film industry rather than a permanent farewell.
In his earlier remarks, Vikrant mentioned that the immense pressure from his work led him to contemplate saying goodbye to acting. He emphasized that his words were misconstrued due to his brevity in expressing a complex sentiment. “I thought it would be best to take a little time off,” he stated, reiterating that he never intended to distance himself from acting permanently.
The actor revealed that working around 16 hours a day had become overwhelming, resulting in fatigue and a need to step back temporarily. “I felt exhausted and decided it was time for a break,” Vikrant explained, dispelling rumors that he was retiring from the film industry altogether. He reassured fans that he still holds a passion for acting and has not closed the door on future projects.
Vikrant Massey’s journey in the entertainment industry began with the popular series “Balika Vadhu,” and he made his big-screen debut in 2017 with “A Death in the Gunj.” Over the years, he has appeared in more than 20 films, but it was “12th Fail” that truly catapulted him into the limelight. His performance not only garnered critical acclaim but also earned him a Filmfare Award and the title of ‘Indian Film Personality of the Year.’
In his personal life, Vikrant married his long-time partner Sheetal in February 2022, and the couple welcomed a son named Vardan shortly thereafter. His family life, alongside his professional commitments, has contributed to the pressures he experiences, prompting the need for a pause.
Fans and industry colleagues have shown immense support for Vikrant’s decision to take a break, recognizing the importance of mental health in such a demanding field. As he takes time to recharge, audiences eagerly await his return to the silver screen, confident that he will continue to make impactful contributions to cinema.
With his clarification, Vikrant aims to alleviate concerns among fans regarding his career trajectory. As he takes a moment to reflect on his journey, the actor remains committed to his craft and looks forward to the next chapter in his life, both on and off the screen.
