NEW DELHI DEC 14 (ONLINE): Actor Vikrant Massey has spoken about what made him announce a break from his work. Speaking with Agenda AajTak, Vikrant revealed that “social media pressure was an important part of sharing that break from work post”. The actor also added that he finally for the life he had always dreamt of, and so he “thought it was time to live it”.
Vikrant said, “The life I had always dreamt of, I finally got it, so I thought it was time to live it. I want to take a break, because at the end of the day, everything is transient, which is why I am only doing one film next year. Social media pressure was an important part of sharing that break from work post, that I concede. I lead a public life, and am borderline introvert-ish. One has to come to social media. But if someone were to give me an option, I would come selectively on it, whenever I would feel like sharing something.”
“And then my son was born, I was not able to spend any quality time with him or my wife. All of this was happening simultaneously. So, which is why I had written in that Instagram post, that as an actor, son, father and as a husband, it was time for me to recalibrate? And after doing what I had done professionally, I thought, ‘what else could I have done more as an actor in this country?’ I just want to better myself as an artiste going forward,” he added.
After making the announcement, Vikrant was spotted in Dehradun shooting for his upcoming film, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, alongside Shanaya Kapoor. The film will explore a contemporary take on romance and ghosting. The plot of the project remains under wraps at the moment. According to reports, Santosh Singh is the director of the film.
