Some fans drew comparisons to other actors who stepped away from the limelight, with one remarking, "Why you want to become the next Imran Khan of Bollywood? We already lost one of the finest actors just because he chose family."
Vikrant Massey’s career trajectory has been a testament to his versatility and talent. He began his journey on television with Dhoom Machao Dhoom and gained recognition through shows like Balika Vadhu.
