Vicky Kaushal blasts troll for saying he is in Bollywood because of nepotism

Vicky Kaushal opens up on how he responded to a troll who attacked him for being a product on nepotism. Vicky had a classy response to give.

With three films Raazi, Manmarziyaan and Uri: The Surgical Strike, all within a few months of release, Vicky Kaushal has emerged as a much sought-after hero. However, fame comes with its share of troubles. In a recent interview, Vicky was asked to react to some of the comments about him on social media.

One user savagely said that Vicky did not have a "hero face" and that Vicky was in films, because of his background.

His post read, "He doesn’t have hero face...a common punjabi ladka yes but he has filmy background bas utna hi kaafi hai aaj bollywood me."

For the unitiated, Vicky's father Sham Kaushal is a director.

Reacting to the comment, Vicky said, Okay, so apart from the last line, 'utna hi kaafi hai Bollywood mein,' I think there’s nothing wrong in what he said. I don’t have a filmy face or a hero face."

However, Vicky reacted to the nepotism tack. "Sir, you are most welcome in Bollywood and try and survive a week and we will have a cup of coffee together and I will ask you the same question."

Vicky's last film Uri: The Surgical Strike crossed Rs 200 crore at the box office. Talking about the overwhelming response, Vicky had told a daily, "Just before the film was to release, Aditya [Dhar, director] and I were discussing how the entire team has given their all - physically, mentally and emotionally - to the project. Though we were content with our efforts, we didn't expect the audience to go bonkers."

At a time when the film is minting money at the box office, it also came under the radar for being a propaganda film. Released a few months before the elections, many raised eyebrows calling it government's mouthpiece.

However, Vicky has dismissed the notion saying that film is a tribute to the Indian Armed Forces. "It's not necessary to view everything through the political lens. Also, if it was a propaganda film, I wouldn't have been a part of it," said Vicky.
