Vikrant Massey clarifies he's 'not quitting acting, just taking a break': 'My post has been misinterpreted'

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.”

But now, Vikrant has clarified his post has been misinterpreted. He said in a statement, “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.”

The actor added, “My post has been misinterpreted. That I am quiting or retiring from acting. I want to take some time off to focus on my family and health. I would be back when the time feels right.”

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.”
