Vikrant Massey, the star of back-to-back blockbusters like 12th Fail, Sector 36, and Sabarmati Express, has shocked millions of fans with his announcement to retire from acting at the age of 37. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Massey shared that he plans to meet his fans "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," he wrote. "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 continued, "So coming 2025, we would 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." He ended the note with "forever indebted."
Reports suggest that Vikrant is currently working on two films: Yaar Jigri and Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan.
The announcement left fans in shock, with many expressing their disbelief in the comments section. One user wrote, "I hope it's not true." Another comment read, "Fill your cup then be back." A third user remarked, "Why you want to become the next Imran Khan of Bollywood? We already lost one of the finest actors just because he chose family." A fourth fan commented, "Aisa mat karo bhai (don't do this thing)." One Instagram user added, "Bro you are at peak... why do you think like this?"
