Bollywood actor Vikrant Massey surprised his fans on Monday when he announced his decision to step away from showbiz through a social media post.
The 37-year-old actor shared a note on Instagram, writing, “In 2025, I will meet my fans for the last time. The past few years have certainly been extraordinary, and I am grateful to all of you for your immense love and support.”
Vikrant continued, “As I move forward in my life, I realize that it is time for me to fulfill some responsibilities as a husband, father, and son, responsibilities I wasn’t able to fulfill before.”
He thanked his fans and added, “So, in the coming year, 2025, we will meet one last time, until the right time comes.”
After this message, his fans were concerned and believed that the actor was retiring for good.
However, on Tuesday, Vikrant clarified that he is not retiring from the film industry but is simply taking a break for a while.
According to Indian media, Vikrant issued an official statement through his spokesperson, explaining that his health had been affected due to his work, and that’s why he decided to take a break.
Vikrant said, “I can only act, that’s what has given me everything. But my physical and mental health are being impacted. I want to take some time off.”
Referring to his social media post, Vikrant further explained, “My post was misunderstood, as if I’m quitting acting or retiring. That’s not the case. I just want to take some time for myself to focus on my health and family. I’ll return to films at the right time.”
