In a recent interview, Vikrant elaborated on the motivations behind his decision.
Vikrant Massey on why he announced sudden break from acting
In a conversation with Agenda AajTak, Vikrant Massey disclosed the underlying reason for his abrupt break from acting. He acknowledged that "the pressure from social media played a significant role in his decision to share this work hiatus."
He expressed that he has finally achieved the life he has always envisioned, prompting him to take the opportunity to truly experience it. The actor intends to step back, recognizing that everything is fleeting, which is why he plans to undertake only one film in the upcoming year.
Massey further explained, "I admit that social media pressure was a crucial factor in my decision to announce this break from work. I live a public life, yet I tend to be somewhat introverted. Engaging with social media is necessary, but if given a choice, I would prefer to participate selectively, sharing only when I feel compelled to do so."
Elaborating on his situation, the actor from "12th Fail" mentioned that he has been unable to spend meaningful time with his son and wife. This is why he conveyed in his Instagram post that, in his roles as an actor, son, father, and husband, it was essential for him to recalibrate his priorities.
"After achieving what I have in my career, I pondered, 'What more could I have accomplished as an actor in this country?' My goal is to enhance my skills as an artist moving forward," he concluded.
