Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal, currently awaiting the release of his next film "Bad Newz," recently opened up about his family's struggles during their early days and revealed a poignant moment when his father, Sham Kaushal, contemplated ending his life.

Vicky shared that his family hails from a small village in Punjab, and despite his father having a Master's degree in English Literature, he was initially jobless. "We had no land in Punjab. Once, after drinking with his friends, Dad declared he wants to die," Vicky recounted. This incident deeply concerned his grandfather, who then sent Sham Kaushal to Mumbai in 1978. In Mumbai, Sham was prepared to take up any job, even working as a sweeper, to earn money. "My dad’s youth was full of struggles. There’s no job security in this field. While you’re working on one project, you’re wondering if you’ll find something else next," Vicky explained.

The actor also revealed that after he scored good marks in college and secured a job, his parents were overjoyed, thinking that someone in the family would finally have a stable income and work-life. However, Vicky felt a strong pull towards acting and knew that a conventional 9-to-5 job would not bring him happiness. "I knew that I couldn’t do a conventional 9-5 job. I had an offer letter, I’d passed with good marks, but I knew that I’d become depressed if I went ahead with it," he shared.
Vicky made his acting debut with the film "Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana" in 2012. Over the years, he has become one of Bollywood's most sought-after actors, known for his versatile performances and dedication to his craft. His role in the 2019 film "Uri" earned him the National Film Award for Best Actor, solidifying his place in the industry.
Vicky's upcoming film "Bad Newz," a romantic comedy, also stars Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk in lead roles. The film, backed by producers Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Amritpal Singh Bindra, and Anand Tiwari, is set to release in theaters on July 19. The trailer has already sparked interest with its unique storyline, and fans eagerly await its premiere. Vicky's journey from a young boy with a stable job offer to a celebrated actor in Bollywood is a testament to his passion and perseverance in following his dreams.
