Talking further about his disappearance, he said that he was not on a break, but it was more like fading into oblivion. But, he was waiting to make a comeback. He had been more focused — he had changed his look and had also lost weight.

Vikas had further said, "Yes, I have made mistakes, but isn’t that human? If I had known that those mistakes would cost me my career, I would have avoided them. But now, I am positive and in a happy space. I am also getting a good response from people."

Vikas had also revealed how his wife and brother stood by him during the toughest times. He realized that there were no permanent friends in this industry, more so when you hit a rough patch. Sethi had even said how friends,  who would stand outside his home, requesting him to party with them, distanced themselves when he wasn’t doing anything.
