“So sudden? Is everything okay?"
Vikrant Massey recently took to social media to clarify his announcement about stepping back from films.
The actor had left fans concerned when his post suggested that he would be retiring from the film industry.
In his original post, the 12th Fail actor wrote: “The last few years and beyond have been phenomenal.
“I thank each and every one of you for your indelible support.
“But as I move forward, I realise it’s time to recalibrate and go back home.
“As a husband, father, and 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 two movies and many years of memories.
“Thank you again. For everything and everything in between. Forever indebted.”
This cryptic message led to confusion among his followers, with some assuming that it marked the end of his career.
The response was immediate and emotional, with many fans expressing disbelief and urging him to reconsider.
A fan questioned: “Why would you do that? There are so few actors like you. We need quality cinema.”
Another asked: “So sudden? Is everything okay? This is so surprising for us.”
Addressing the misunderstanding, Vikrant explained that his words had been “misinterpreted”.
The actor clarified that acting remained his passion and that he was taking a short break to focus on his health.
Vikrant explained: “Acting is all I can do. And it has given me everything I have. My physical and mental health have taken a hit.
“I just want to take some time off, want to better my craft. I feel a sense of monotony at the moment.”
Fans had previously speculated various reasons for his announcement, with some wondering if it was a publicity stunt for an upcoming project.
Others speculated that Vikrant Massey might be stepping into politics, especially after his recent film The Sabarmati Report received significant attention.
Some fans even voiced concern that a shift into politics might lead to the actor being “forgotten” in the film industry.
Vikrant Massey’s clarification has now put many minds at ease.
While he hasn’t ruled out a return to acting, he emphasised the importance of taking time for himself and his loved ones.
