Vicky Kaushal won a million hearts with his portrayal of Kamli in the film 'Sanju', he has become the current favourite of the audience and filmmakers are looking forward to working with him. Vicky Kaushal recently shared his heartwarming story from his engineering days to his struggle to become an actor. The actor revealed a lot of anecdotes about his journey with Humans Of Bombay, an official page that shares heartfelt stories of regular and inspiring people.

Vicky Kaushal shared his struggle to get a break in Bollywood and how he broke the news of becoming an actor at home. The 'Sanju' star's father is an action director in Bollywood but Vicky Kaushal made his way into Bollywood on his own, without his father's help. He went from one audition to another until he bagged the film 'Masaan'. 

Talking about his first job offer, he revealed how he was really excited to give an interview for an IT job just for the fun of it. 

"I wanted to experience the ‘nervousness’–wearing a tie & showing your resumé. I already knew that I wasn’t going into that profession, even when I got a job offer."

Despite his father's wish for Vicky to pursue engineering, he stuck to his ground of wanting to act.

The actor goes on to describe his father's struggles and how they valued every little thing they had, since they were never financially very well off. But Vicky never gave up and just kept going despite his fear of not being able to live up to his father's expectations, but when 'Masaan' released, things finally changed. 

Finally Masaan released in 2015. That’s when my dad saw my performance on a big screen. He was so proud- when he got a phone call from a friend - saying ‘Vicky ke papa’ He called me in 10 mins boasting ‘you know what happened? Someone called me Vicky’s dad today!’, the actor quipped.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

“During college, I decided to interview for an IT job just for the thrill of it. I wanted to experience the ‘nervousness’–wearing a tie & showing your resumé. I already knew that I wasn’t going into that profession, even when I got a job offer. My dad’s an action director & despite his hope that ‘Kaushal parivar ka chirag’ will get a 9-5 job with stability— I announced that I wanted to be an actor. But, I didn’t know struggle like my father had. He went into films to survive. When my mom married him - they lived in a small room, with a chattai & a chair. My father built everything from there. It wasn’t easy - he had to hunt for our next meal. So he made sure to let us know where each piece of furniture came from. That’s why when I told him I wanted to act - he said be sure. Acting as a profession couldn’t be a ‘?’ for me. I needed to put 120% & not have a back up waiting. So I tore up that offer letter from the job & set out for auditions. My 1st one was horrifying. It was for a small role & I realised how far from everything I was. On my way home, I was like ‘Vicky, ab toh tune job letter bhi phaad diya!’ I was afraid, but I literally couldn’t give up. So the next day, I set off to more auditions. I even started theatre & evolved as an actor. I wanted to learn the practicality. Finally Masaan released in 2015. That’s when my dad saw my performance on a big screen. He was so proud- when he got a phone call from a friend - saying ‘Vicky ke papa’ He called me in 10 mins boasting ‘you know what happened? Someone called me Vicky’s dad today!’ So that’s it. The journey from being my father’s son to him being Vicky’s dad was what gave me hope… things were changing. My happiest moment since then was when I 1st bought a car with my own money. When you’re younger, you say things like ‘I’ll have my own Mercedes someday!’ Never knowing when it’ll happen. So I took my mom to the show room & she said - 'you remember when you were younger, you used to point out toy cars in shops? And today you’re making me sit in your car.’ She had teary eyes. That’s the moment I knew that I’ve retained my title as being the ‘Kaushal parivaar ka chirag,’ & I did it on my own terms!"
