Vikrant Massey's fans and followers are devastated by his abrupt retirement announcement on December 1. In his Instagram post, the actor stated that he will no longer be acting and will instead focus on his future roles as a husband, father, and son. Amidst this, Vikrant Massey's old statement, in which he voiced concerns over the safety of his 9-month-old son Vardhan, is going viral on social media.
Vikrant recently disclosed his fear while promoting the movie 'The Sabarmati Report.' The movie caused controversy because it was modelled on the 2002 Godhra train fire. In an interview, Vikrant reportedly said that he was getting threats via WhatsApp and social media and that his 9-month-old son Vardhan was also being targeted.
"Mujhe mere social media, WhatsApp pe threat aa rahe hain. Yeh log jaante hain ki main 9 mahine pehle ek bacche ka pita bana hoon. Mera baccha jo theek se chal bhi nahi pata, uska naam beech mein liya ja raha hai. Uski suraksha ke liye mujhe chinta mein daala ja raha hai. Hum kis samaj mein jee rahe hain? Afsos hota hai, dar nahi lagta. Agar dar lagta, toh hum yeh film banake bahar laate hi nahi," he said during an interview with Dainik Bhaskar on its YouTube channelAlso Read: Vikrant Massey Announces Retirement From Acting, The Sabarmati Report Actor’s Decision Takes Fans By Shock
