Bollywood’s heartthrob Vicky Kaushal stands as an icon for thousands of aspiring actors everywhere. Despite being a 'nepo baby,' he was brought up on the fringes of the film industry, away from the privilege that some might associate with his lineage. Vicky's father, the veteran action director Sham Kaushal, may have encouraged his acting pursuits, but he couldn't guarantee lucrative offers without sincere effort.

In a recent interview, Vicky Kaushal addressed a pertinent question about individuals from the industry who come from more privileged backgrounds and whether they put on a facade to appear middle-class, perhaps to avoid criticism. Vicky's response shed light on his belief in authenticity.
