Vikrant Massey, an Indian actor, surprised fans when he announced in December 2024 that he would be taking a break from his acting career to focus on his newborn son, Vardaan, born in February 2024. In a recent appearance on Parineeti Chopra's talk show, 'Mom Talks,' streaming on ZEE5, Massey discussed the personal reasons behind his decision, citing 'dad guilt' and the emotional toll of parenthood. He expressed that, as a first-time father, he felt a strong urge to be present at home, especially during a time when he was overwhelmed with work commitments. Massey shared a touching moment when his son attempted to say 'papa' for the first time, reinforcing his desire to prioritize family over career. He acknowledged the societal conditioning that pressures fathers to be providers and emphasized that it's natural for new fathers to feel vulnerable and want to stay home with their children. Massey's reflections on fatherhood resonate with many new parents navigating similar challenges.
