Beloved by millions for his groundbreaking performances in 12th Fail, Sector 36 and Sabarmati Express, actor Vikrant Massey has left fans stunned with the announcement of his decision to step away from acting at the peak of his career. The 37-year-old star took to Instagram to share the emotional news, expressing gratitude and introspection in a heartfelt post.
In a post on Instagram, he said he would meet his fans for “one last time” in 2025. “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 & a Son. And also as an Actor,” he wrote.
He continued, “So coming 2025, we would meet each other for one last time. Until time deems right. Last 2 movies and many a years of memories. Thank you again. For everything and everything in between.” He added “forever indebted” at the end of the note. Per reports, Vikrant is currently shooting for two films – Yaar Jigri and Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan.
Massey won the “Actor Of The Year” trophy at NDTV for his portrayal of Manoj Kumar Sharma, the man who overcame terrible poverty to become an Indian Police Officer, in Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s 12th Fail. He has also received recognition for his performances in films such as Sector 36 and Haseen Dillruba.
What Fans Have to Say ??
Vikrant’s announcement has left his followers in shock. One fan wrote, “I hope it’s not true,” while another said, “Why would you do that…?” There aren’t many actors like you. “We need some good cinema.” A third fan said, “Please don’t do this…”Your piece, “Broken but Beautiful,” resonates with my personal experiences.
One person said, “You’re my favourite actor, your eyes are so expressive…” We shall wait for you to return soon.” Many have wished him luck and encouraged him to return stronger.
Perhaps this is Vikrant Massey’s way of finding balance and cherishing life’s quieter moments with his family. As fans come to terms with his announcement, many hope this is not the end but rather a reflective pause in his remarkable journey. While the industry loses a gem for now, it gains an artist who chooses to prioritize being a husband, father, and son.
