Fans were left disheartened as Vikrant Massey announced his retirement from acting in a heartfelt late-night post on December 1. Expressing his gratitude to fans for their “indelible” support, Vikrant said, “It’s time to recalibrate and go back home.” The actor has, time and again, opted for diverse roles, proving his acting finesse in films like 12th Fail, Lootera and the recently released The Sabarmati Report. While Vikrant continues to win applause for his professional achievements, he once reflected on his family dynamics. In an earlier conversation, he revealed how his family embodies diversity—his father, a Christian, is married to a Sikh, while his brother, Moeen, embraces Islam. Vikrant himself is married to actress Sheetal Thakur, a Hindu.
On Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast earlier this month, Vikrant Massey said, “My brother does Laxmi puja on the occasion of Diwali. His conversion is his personal choice. But we celebrate Diwali and Holi together here. On the occasion of Eid, we celebrate it at his place, having biryani. Today, that fulcrum is absent (in society).”
“My father has been to Vaishno Devi temple (located in Katra, Jammu and Kashmir) six times. He is a Christian and goes to church twice a week even now. But that’s what India has always been like. You will find Christians whose name is Rahul, Rohit etc. We ourselves go to gurudwaras and many Hindus go to Ajmer Sharif Dargah (located in Rajasthan). This is our Hindustan. Why is it so surprising? There’s a temple in my house. My son’s name is Vardaan. This is the fabric of our country,” added the actor.
Vikrant Massey was last seen in The Sabarmati Report, based on the Godhra Riots of 2002. Directed by Dheeraj Sarna and jointly produced by Shobha Kapoor and Ektaa R Kapoor’s Balaji Motion Pictures, Amul V Mohan and Anshul Mohan, the film starred Raashii Khanna and Riddhi Dogra in the key roles. Next up for the actor are two more films before his exit from acting, as Vikrant mentioned in his retirement post. Both his upcoming releases are scheduled to hit the theatres in 2025.
Vikrant Massey’s announcement has undoubtedly left fans in shock. While many are grappling with the news, there is a glimmer of hope among fans that this might just be a temporary pause in his career and that the actor would return.
