Bollywood actor Vikrant Massey announced his retirement from acting on Monday. The move, which shocked many fans, was announced by the actor in a post on the social media platform Instagram. The actor in his post said that 2025 will be the last year of him working as an actor and thanked everyone who has been part of his journey.
“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. So coming 2025, we would meet each other for one last time. Until time deems right,” said the actor in his post. “Last 2 movies and many years of memories. Thank you again. For everything and everything in between,” the actor added.
His net worth
The 37-year-old actor, in just a short span of his acting career, has gained a huge fan following. The actor’s net worth is somewhere around Rs 20-26 crore. Apart from films and shows, which are the main source of his income, Massey earns through brand endorsements and social media promotions. His fee for a film is somewhere around Rs 1.5 crore.
Vikrant Massey’s Journey from Small to Big Screen
Massey began his career with small-screen shows like Balika Vadhu and went on to become a prominent big-screen actor starring in movies like Lootera, Chhapaak and 12th Fail. The early retirement of the 37-year-old actor at the peak of his career has shocked fans. His latest film, Sabarmati Report, which is based on the 2002 Godhra riots, was released last month and did quite well in terms of box office collection.
Why sudden retirement?
The actor broke the news of his retirement on Instagram but gave no reason behind the announcement. Fans in the comment section said that the trolling and backlash the actor received for his role in the film Sabarmati Report could have prompted him to take such a sudden decision.
“Yes, I have received threats, and more are likely to come. But, as artists, we tell stories. This film is based on facts, and it’s something we, as a team, are dealing with together,” said Vikrant in an interview.
