Vikrant Massey shocked his fans by sharing a post announcing a sabbatical from acting. The 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 its time to recalibrate and go back home. As a Husband, Father & a Son. And also as an Actor.”
Massey began his career back in 2013 in Hindi films with Vikramaditya Motwane’s Lootera. It has been a decade and his recent film 12th Fail has happened to him after his years of sweat and success. The film that has been directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra had gone from strength to strength at the box-office and emerged as a bonafide success.
In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, the actor spoke about his Bollywood journey and said, “It’s been fabulous. I look back at my journey very fondly, at the same time I also realise that my journey has just begun so there will be multiple moments in my life where I’ll have to restart which I’m really looking forward to.”
On the film mentioned above, Massey said, “The reason we pay so much attention to student life is because age is a very important cross-junction in life, which is why parents or families or societies are particular about what’s happening in their lives. More than 60-65 percent of our country’s population is below the age of 35. The idea is to restart. You want to do well academically and secure good grades, but if you’re not able to surpass that, life doesn’t end there. Academic success is not life’s success. Our definition of success has changed over the years. Don’t urge your kids to do something they are not fond of.”
