Indian actor Vikrant Massey recently addressed the rumors surrounding his retirement from acting, which stemmed from a cryptic post on his social media. In an interview with News18 Showsha, Vikrant clarified that he is not stepping away from the industry but is taking a much-needed break to focus on his health and well-being. “I’m not retiring… Just burned out. Need a long break,” he explained. His original post, which spoke of recalibrating his life, was misunderstood by fans as an announcement of his departure from acting.
Vikrant made his first public appearance after the retirement speculation at the screening of his latest film, The Sabarmati Report, at the Balayogi auditorium in Parliament. Although he discussed the film with the press, when reporters inquired about his earlier social media post, he chose not to respond, with co-actor Raashii Khanna stepping in to address the situation.
