Vikrant Massey REVEALS Why He Left Television: 'The Kind Of Content They Are Making...'

Despite garnering numerous accolades and recognition for his fame, not many are aware that Vikrant Massey began his career in the television industry. His notable roles in shows like 'Balika Vadhu,' 'Dharam Veer,' and others marked his presence on the small screen. Amid this, Vikrant shared in an interview the reasons behind his departure from the television domain and why he hasn't returned since. He also pointed out that the content created for television audiences often perpetuates regressive ideas, particularly against women, which became the primary reason for him to exit that industry.

Vikrant highlighted that only a few shows, like 'Balika Vadhu' upheld the highest standards of respect and women's empowerment.

According to ABP Live, Vikrant said, "There was a reason why I left television. I do not enjoy television because I do not subscribe to the kind of content they are making. I find it very regressive even today. Maybe it's their definition of entertainment. They give substandard parts to women. I was a part of ‘Balika Vadhu’ and the show empowered hundreds and millions of people."

"I can proudly say the show contributed to a lot about women's safety and girl child education. After doing that kind of content, I had a lot of fights with the makers and I have walked out of a few shows. I do not subscribe to their regressive content," Vikrant added.
