Vicky Kaushal relives ‘good old acting days’, video goes viral
Vicky Kaushal is experiencing his good old acting day in school with friend Shireen Mirza, who put out a throwback clip from their time together. Shireen is an actor too and has featured in many of the TV show such as Ye Hai Mohabbatein as Simran ‘Simmi’ Bhalla Khurana.
Shireen Mirza took part in an Ask Me Anything session on social media platform Instagram in which a fan asked her to share a picture or video with Vicky. She went on to share a video of their skit on Instagram Stories.
Shireen Mirza captioned the post, “Jab hum chote bachhe the (when we used to be kids),” and added laughing emojis. In another slide, she sort of apologised to Vicky for posting the video and wrote, “folding hands already for posting this ha ha ha,” with folded hands and laughing emojis.
In response to the clip and sharing it on Instagram Stories, Vicky wrote, “Good old acting school days (2009).”
Vicky attended an engineering college but later took admission into Kishore Namit Kapoor's academy to learn acting. He started as an assistant to filmmaker Anurag Kashyap on his 2012 film, Gangs of Wasseypur.
After playing small parts in Anurag's films, Vicky finally made his breakthrough in a leading role with the 2015 movie, Masaan. The film was critically praised and won many awards.
Speaking of how Vicky Kaushal made his mark in Bollywood, the actor had told Hindustan Times in an interview, “I was doing bit roles in theatre, and sometimes, I was only making the opening announcement. But I was enjoying myself. At the same time, I would go for multiple auditions. I would make it till the final round, and then something would not work out. This went on for months, before Zubaan (2015) and Masaan happened."
Vicky Kaushal has given powerful performances in Uri: The Surgical Strike, Manmarziyaan and Sardar Udham. He will next be featured in Sam Bahadur and Govinda Naam Mera.
