Vikrant Massey fans blame nepotism behind his decision to quit films

Vikrant Massey's decision to quit films at a time when he is arguably at the peak of his career did to sit well with social media users.  Soon after the announcement, fan theories swirled regarding the reason behind the move. One prominent issue that netizens allege could have been a driving factor for Massey was nepotism.
 

For years now it has been alleged by social media users, cine-goers and some industry insiders that the Hindi film industry gives better opportunities and more margin of error for patrons belonging to film families. For several years, ‘outsiders’ have shared ordeals of dealing with ‘unfair treatment and hardships'. The untimely demise of Sushant Singh Rajput also put forth the issue of nepotism and how the industry has a tendency to ‘alienate’ those who are not part of it by virtue of birth. 

Fans of Vikrant Massey sniff a similar conspiracy in the 12th Fail actor's case. A user wrote, “Suddenly? Is everything alright? That's so surprising for the fans. We really like your acting and movies. We already lost a gem and talented actor like SSR. We don't want to lose you!” Another comment read, “If the bollywood mafia is threatening him or someone else,it's a practical decision to change the career rather then putting their life in danger for the sake of himself and his family.... We don't want another SSR.” Several users also trolled actors belonging to film families and stated how they go on to multiple films despite delivering flops, but outsiders are under much more pressure.
