Vikrant Massey posted what appeared to be a statement of his acting retirement on Instagram on December 2, 2024. To thank the audience. The 12th Fail actor stated, “But as I move forward, I realise it’s time to recalibrate and go back home. As a Husband, Father & a Son. And also as an Actor. So coming 2025, we would meet each other for one last time. Until time deems right. The last 2 movies and many years of memories.” Now the actor finally revealed His Decision to Take a Break from Acting.
12th Fail Actor Vikrant Massey said, “The life I had always dreamt of, I finally got it, so I thought it was time to live it. I want to take a break, because, at the end of the day, everything is transient, which is why I am only doing one film next year. Social media pressure was an important part of sharing that break from work post, that I concede. I lead a public life and am borderline introvert-ish. One has to come to social media. But if someone were to give me an option, I would come selectively on it, whenever I would feel like sharing something.”
The actor went on to reveal that, “And then my son was born, I was not able to spend any quality time with him or my wife. All of this was happening simultaneously. So, which is why I had written in that Instagram post, that as an actor, son, father and as husband, it was time for me to recalibrate. And after doing what I had done professionally, I thought, ‘What else could I have done more as an actor in this country?’ I just want to better myself as an artiste going forward.”
