Here¡¯s the reason why Vikrant Massey announced his retirement at 37: Is it a publicity stunt?
Vikrant Massey recently took to Instagram and shared that he will meet his fans on screen for the last time in 2025. Since the post went viral, people have been trying to speculate the reason behind him taking such a step.
At the age of 37, Vikrant Massey announced his retirement from the entertainment industry. In an Instagram post, the actor expressed gratitude to his followers for their support. After reading his note, his well-wishers were taken aback and even urged him to change his mind. Vikrant also expressed deep appreciation in his statement for all of the love and support he has received for his works. As soon as the news went viral, people started assuming several reasons why Vikrant made such an announcement.
Reason behind Vikrant Massey¡¯s retirement
So going by what the actor wrote in his post, it looks like Vikrant wants to spend more time with his family. He and his wife Sheetal Thakur recently had welcomed a baby boy into their lives. In the same post we have been referring to, the actor wrote ¡°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, it's safe to say that Vikrant is probably wanting to give more time and attention to his family.
Is it a publicity stunt?
Well, there is no proof that it¡¯s a stunt. However, if you look at the chatter on social media, some internet users believe it could be. These, however, remain purely speculative.

Vikrant Massey isn¡¯t retiring, especially after gaining recognition from 12th Fail. This social media buzz will fade soon. Such drama often comes from lesser-known actors seeking attention, but his departure wouldn¡¯t make much impact as few know him and his work #VikrantMassey
