Vikrant Massey opens up about his break from acting and social media
Ahead of his upcoming release with Shanaya Kapoor, Vikrant Massey got candid in a heartfelt chat with Bollywood Bubble, where he spoke about his hiatus from acting and social media. He revealed how the relentless work schedule affected his emotional well-being and family life, sharing the heartbreaking moment he missed hearing his son say ‘papa’ for the first time, a once-in-a-lifetime moment he could only witness through a video. He was quoted as saying:
“The idea was to better myself and… spend time with my family… These last few years have been phenomenal, but I was away from my family. I had a baby boy, and all I had were videos of him. I didn’t see his first tooth coming in. He said ‘papa’ for the first time in my absence. My first memory of him saying ‘papa’ is through a video that I’ve saved in a folder. It’s heartbreaking.”
