Vicky Kaushal, Bollywood biggie, is ready with his new comedy film, 'Bad Newz', and recently went emotional while sharing a story about father Sham Kaushal, a celebrated action choreographer, about disclosing a difficult chapter from his past.
Vicky had known how his father pursued a master's degree in English literature but did not get a job in their native Punjab in the 1970s, the time of great change in culture and politics in India.
Sharing his raaz, Vicky mentioned, "My grandfather had a grocery shop in the village. My father had an MA degree, but he saw unemployment and was greatly in sorrow. One day, after having few pegs, my father shared with a friend on the bus stop: 'Main suicide kar lunga'." He says adds, "My grandfather got highly disturbed hearing this".
Vicky also revealed that his father had gone to Mumbai with his friend, telling, "I was ready to work as a sweeper in Mumbai just to come back home and say we don't need to worry about the house," Kaushal, joined the film industry as an action director, but he discovered soon that the job was such an insecure occupation that the stability of further projects could never be assured.
He reflected on his own life, how his family rejoiced upon receiving a job offer to an engineering firm, envisioning a safe 9 to 5 career including holidays and outings. But it was said that even a blade of grass does not move without the will of destiny, and both Vicky and his brother Sunny ended up pursuing the field of acting.
And this version captures the spirit of the original story while rendering it in a new and eminently different form.
