At the age of 37, actor Vikrant Massey is retiring from acting. Vikrant shocked his fans by announcing that he planned to step back from acting after 2025 through a note on Instagram. Known for his versatility and compelling performances, Vikrant’s unexpected decision comes at a time when he is riding the wave of success in his career.
Earlier this year, Vikrant welcomed his first child with wife Sheetal Thakur. In his social media post, he has expressed his desire to focus on his family, prioritizing his roles as a husband, father, and son as he moves into this new phase of his life.
In his heartfelt note on Instagram, Vikrant Massey wrote, “Hello, 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 realize it’s time to recalibrate and go back home.
As a Husband, Father & a Son. And also as an actor. So, coming 2025, we will meet each other for one last time. Until time deems right. Last 2 movies and many years of memories. Thank you again. For everything and everything in between. Forever indebted.”
Vikrant’s retirement announcement comes after a series of successful performances. Just last year, he earned critical acclaim for his portrayal of IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma in ‘12th Fail’. His August release, ‘Phir Aayi Hasseen Dilruba’, saw him return as Rishu, delivering a more intense performance. His latest project, ‘The Sabarmati Report’ has garnered him praise all over the country, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.
At the recently concluded 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Vikrant was honored with the ‘Personality of the Year’ award. Vikrant’s latest film, ‘The Sabarmati Report’ was also screened at IFFI and has been declared tax-free in several states, including Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh.
