A biography for Vicky Kaushalhasn’t been written yet.
“It's a reality that you get boxed and stereotyped, but I am not afraid of that. It's my quest as an actor to explore different territories.”
“A hero could be anyone who does something heroic, irrespective of the gender.”
“Acting between action and cut is temporary. The result is permanent.”
“All I know is that I intend to do films which are different from each other, work with good directors and on great stories so that I get to grow as an actor. That's my only attempt.”
“I was born in a 10x10 room of a chawl, and we shared a common bathroom with other people in the neighbourhood.”
“Me and my brother Sunny never had the enthusiasm of visiting a film set or going to a screening or attending parties and meeting actors.”
“My dad battled various financial mishaps for years before achieving success as a stunt director, but my parents ensured that my brother and I knew all about the family's struggle. We knew from where each piece of furniture came from.”
“My father would schedule meetings over breakfast. Film-makers such as Rakesh Roshan and Prakash Jha have seen me as a child run around the house.”
“Expectations don't scare me because I have worked towards them. I want people to expect better things from me with every film. I never want to be in a position where they don't expect anything from me. I want to be in a position where if they are expecting sun from me, at least I will be able to reach the moon.”
“We are conditioned to believe that the hero is always a man, but it might not necessarily be so.”
“I aspire to be a part of a good story, because then, the actor will automatically shine through.”
“My father said he will always support me but just not as an action director. It is a deal between both of us. He is an inspiration because he is a self-made man. I want to set that same example for my kids. I will fight it out.”
“Working with Anurag sir was always a dream. He is the person I started my journey with.”
“Whenever a relationship doesn't go on the right path, it affects me in some form, but it hasn't spoilt anything for me.”
“As an actor, if you want to explore something new inside you, you need to do something different that you don't do in your regular life. You need to think in a different way. It is my duty to think like the character that I am given and believe in his mindset; only then I will be able to portray it.”
“People would be amazed that I've grown up in Bombay and not Banaras.”
“I feel lucky to be able to work with such great filmmakers on such wonderful stories.”
“I did engineering, and when people asked me my career plans, I used to say I would do an MBA.”
“Cinema is a director's medium; it's his story and his vision. If it's a good story, people will connect to it.”
“Nobody can negate the fact that there is a section - not only in media but in every field - which indulge in wrong things.”
