Bollywood Actor Vikrant Massey on Wednesday morning spread a wave of shock and concern after he announced his retirement from acting. His latest hit, ‘The Sabarmati Report’ gained immense appreciation for his performance and the movie’s storyline. Vikrant shared that his last movies as an actor will be seen in 2025 and that he is grateful for everything that came his way.
Massey, 37 took his fans and followers by surprise and many are unable to comprehend why the actor called it quits so young. But it might just an example for men who wait for the ‘perfect time’ to cultivate relationships and prioritise physical and mental health in the uncertainty of this world.
Vikrant has always been a ‘Vulnerable Man’
The ’12th Fail’ actor has always been humble and emotionally open, even while conversing with the media. He has been the one to break stereotypes that Indian men are accustomed to and has time and again shared how he values his blessings and is grateful for his life.
In conversation with an esteemed media portal, Massey shared his plans about raising his newborn son. “I’m going to take each day as it comes. I want to be nimble and think on my feet, so I can adapt. The pace at which the world is changing is faster than most of us can comprehend, so there’s no point in planning ahead. The priority is to ensure my baby is healthy, and apart from that, I’m just soaking it all in,” he said.
How Vikrant poses as an inspiration for men in their 30s?
Vikrant, as mentioned by fans, is at the peak of his acting career during which he has announced his retirement. Typically, Indian men are taught to be the bread earner of the family and live their lives prioritising their families and their needs. They often compromise their relationships and health to be the provider. Men need to understand that it is okay to be vulnerable, rest and restart.
Being invested in family is equally important. Waiting for oldage retirement to finally cultivate relationships with kids and taking care of health might not be the perfect solution to being ‘the provider’. Living each day with contentment, taking care of your mental and physical well-being can lead to a more satisfied career than you think. Addressing stress, anxiety, or burnout through therapy, mindfulness, or hobbies can help you maintain emotional balance and resilience.
