Vicky Kaushal recalls his initial struggle days: 'I didn’t know what I would do'

Vicky Kaushal has recalled his struggle days when he stepped into the world of entertainment; the actor says he did not know what he would do. 

Kaushal shared that he had given tons of auditions but ended up getting rejected for many projects. Out of 10,000 auditions, he managed to pass only 10. 

Like any other actor, the Zara Hatke Zara Bachke actor has also put in his immense hard work and effort to reach to the point where he is today.

While recalling his struggle period, he told Film Companion: "I knew of certain few places where auditions happened, there were some ad agency offices, where were the offices of casting directors and filmmakers.”

“I didn’t know what I would do but I knew that I would just go, meet people, tell them, ‘I want to act’ and give auditions. I was sure I wouldn’t just sit at home because I knew that is not how I would get work.”

The National Award-Winning actor also admitted feeling discouraged at times. But when something like that ever happened, his mother always came to his rescue and motivated him, reported India Today.

Kaushal’s mother told him: “It’s not your job to know how it’s going to happen. Your job is to have faith that it’s going to happen. The ‘how’ part of it is don’t try to become God.”

“You can plan it but don’t kill yourself over it.” The simple line gave Vicky the faith that he needed to continue pursuing his dreams. He went on to say: “She just said it nonchalantly but it gave me a lot of power at that time.”

Vicky Kaushal made his debut in Bollywood in 2015 with film Masaan. He rose to fame with his 2018 film Raazi that also featured Alia Bhatt.
