Mumbai, May 16: Born in Chembur, Mumbai, Vicky Kaushal is now recognized as one of the most powerful and sensitive actors in Hindi cinema. This ordinary Punjabi boy left engineering to pursue acting, and through films like ‘Masaan’, ‘Uri’, ‘Sardar Udham’, and ‘Chhava’, he has not only showcased his talent but also set an example of hard work and authenticity.
Vicky was born on May 16, 1988, into a simple Punjabi family. At that time, no one knew he would become one of the most talented and serious actors in Hindi cinema. His father, Sham Kaushal, is a renowned action director in Bollywood, creating a cinematic atmosphere at home. However, Vicky initially had no interest in acting and completed his engineering studies at Ramnarain Ruia College.
During his college years, he got involved in theater and gradually stepped into the world of acting. He made his big-screen debut in 2015 with the film ‘Masaan’. His role as Deepak earned him a National Award, instantly making him a new face in the industry. Since then, Vicky has never looked back. In 2019, ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’ catapulted him to superstardom. His portrayal of Major Vipin Rawat thrilled the nation, and the film became a box office hit, earning him another National Award.
Following this, he showcased his acting prowess in various roles in films like ‘Manikarnika’, ‘Sardar Udham’, ‘Samrat Ashok’, ‘Sam Bahadur’, and most recently, ‘Chhava’. His popularity has soared to new heights after ‘Chhava’, making him one of the most trusted and respected actors among the youth.
What sets Vicky apart is his ability to balance commercial and parallel cinema. He has never lost himself in the glamour of the industry. His films strongly address social issues, history, and nationalism.
On a personal note, his marriage to Bollywood diva Katrina Kaif in 2021 brought new joy to his life. The couple is still considered one of the most popular pairs in the film industry. Vicky is also very close to his family and has always supported his younger brother, Sunny Kaushal.
