Vikrant Massey Opens Up On Taking Break From Work: ‘I Missed My Son Say Papa For First Time'
Last Updated: Vikrant emphasised that he has no hesitation in taking similar breaks in the future if it helps him grow personally or professionally. Vikrant Massey recently got candid about why he decided to take a break from social media. In a heartfelt conversation with Bollywood Bubble, the actor revealed that stepping away from the online world was a deeply personal choice rooted in self-growth and the emotional toll of missing precious milestones in his baby boy Vardaan's life. Speaking about the decision, Vikrant shared, 'If I feel like taking a break to improve myself, then I will take a break. The idea was to better myself and, of course, spend time with my family. I've been blessed—these last few years have been phenomenal, but I was away from my family." The actor went on to reveal a particularly painful memory, missing his son's first words. '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." Vikrant emphasised that he has no hesitation in taking similar breaks in the future if it helps him grow personally or professionally. 'If tomorrow I feel like taking another break—whether it's tomorrow, months, or years from now—I'll go back to the drawing board to better myself as an actor. Because of the blessings and privilege I have, I owe it to myself to keep growing, even if that means stepping away again." On the work front, Vikrant Massey is gearing up for his next film, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, a romantic drama based on a Ruskin Bond story. The film marks the debut of Shanaya Kapoor, who stars opposite Vikrant in what's being described as a refreshing and soulful pairing. Directed by Santosh Singh, the movie is slated for release on July 11. First Published:

Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor break silence on intimate scenes in Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan: 'I think that brought us closer...'
Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor are gearing up for the release of Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan this Friday. The two are currently on a promotional spree for the romantic drama. In a recent interview with Filmygyan, the duo opened up on their chemistry in the intimate scenes of the movie. Vikrant Massey highlighted that it happened due to the trust they built over time. He also mentioned that they got to know each other well as people beyond just being co-stars. The 12th Fail actor said, 'We've spoken about this. I think it's the trust factor that was built over a point of time. It strikes me that we are both very alike as people. Besides the acting workshop, or you know, chaahe fir woh blind school ki baat ho ya fir you know the challenges as actors we faced, uske alawa when we got to know each other as people, especially during the scene when we opened up as Vikrant and Shanaya and not just as actors, I think that also brought us closer.' Shanaya, who is set to make her debut with the film, agreed with Vikrant. The actor further added that they both are very much alike and share a similar worldview. "We are very hungry actors, and we want to go out there and give our best. And the only way that can happen is by trusting each other, and there's no other way because you have blindfolds on, I can't see anything, so let's empower each other and bring the best from each other,' he added. For the unversed, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is directed by Santosh Singh. Vikrant Massey plays a visually-impaired musician while Shanaya Kapoor essays the role of a theatre artist. The trailer of the upcoming romantic drama has hit the right chords with the masses and is expected to fare well. However, its success will depend on its hold against Rajkummar Rao's Maalik and James Gunn's Superman, as the movie is set to face a three-way clash at the box office. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Calling it a true sisterhood, she spoke about how the three of them have grown up dreaming of a career in films—and now that it's finally happening, it feels surreal. As the daughter of actor Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep Kapoor, Shanaya hails from a family rooted in the industry, with cousins like Janhvi, Khushi, Sonam, and Arjun Kapoor all making their mark in Bollywood. Speaking about her close-knit bond with Suhana Khan and Ananya Panday—daughters of Shah Rukh Khan and Chunky Panday respectively—Shanaya shared how their friendship is rooted in unconditional support.
