Summary: Vikrant Massey quit acting at the age of 37; he announced it by posting a heartfelt note on Instagram.

Vikrant Massey today, early in the morning, announced his retirement from acting. Fans were taken aback by his sudden retirement plans; many have attributed this to the failure of his recent movie, The Sabarmati Report.

Vikrant Massey Posted, "The last few years and beyond have been phenomenal. I thank 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, & son. And also as an actor."

He further continued with, "So coming 2025, we will meet each other for one last time. Until time deems right. The last 2 movies and many years of memories. Thank you again. For everything and everything in between."

Fans were in shock and expressed their disbelief in the comments. "I hope it's not true," wrote one, while the other wrote, "Fill your cup, then be back."

Why do you think like this?"
