Such a sudden announcement by the actor has definitely sent shockwaves among his ardent fans. While several media reports have stated that the actor has quit the profession altogether, however, on carefully reading his social media post, it seems that the 37-year-old actor is going on a sabbatical, prioritising his duties as a family man first and would make a return once things are more settled in his personal life.
A number of actors have commented on Vikrant’s post, showering him with love. Actress Dia Mirza’s comment further solidifies our belief that this may not be him calling it quits with acting, but a break from it to prioritise his personal life. “Breaks are best ❤️ you’ll be even more amazing on the other side,” read Dia’s comment.
