In a surprising move, Vikrant Massey announced that he is stepping back from acting, prompting filmmaker Sanjay Gupta to express his support on social media. Gupta took to X (formerly Twitter) to discuss the bravery involved in such a personal decision, comparing Massey’s choice to that of famed director Hansal Mehta.
Sanjay Gupta shared a series of tweets praising Massey for prioritizing his well-being and family over his flourishing career. He referenced Hansal Mehta’s experience from 2008 when Mehta took a break from the film industry and relocated to a small village in Lonavala to find himself again.
“Can you imagine how brave it is to do that? To turn away from everything while still having family responsibilities and the uncertainty of returning?” Gupta remarked. He emphasized that it takes incredible courage, resilience, and faith in oneself to make such a decision.
Reflecting on Massey’s situation, Gupta noted the personal sacrifices made by the actor. “Vikrant Massey is approaching his life in a similar manner. In an industry filled with competition and pressures, taking a break to focus on being a father, husband, and son displays much strength. He deserves admiration, not criticism,” Gupta stated.
