Actor Vicky Kaushal’s father Sham Kaushal is an action director, but when Vicky decided to enter the film industry he faced struggles. In a recent interview, Shaam shared that Vicky was also denied audition opportunities. However, Shaam never helped Vicky or his younger son Sunny Kaushal in getting film projects. Instead, he always taught them to learn from insults rather than getting disheartened.

speaking on podcast Sutradhar with Vineet Rai, Sham Kaushal shared that it was “a bit shocking” for him when his sons told him that they wanted to enter the world of films, because Both of them were good in education. But he did not oppose his choice, as he was earning from the film industry.

“I could not refuse as I was earning from the same industry. I thought that someone can give him tea as a show of respect towards me, but no one will invest Rs 20 crore in a film with him. However, since I also came from a village and worked hard, I believed that if they remained honest and kept trying, they would not be deprived. As an action director, I have never approached anyone to give me work,” shared Shaam.

The action director instead asked his sons to get out of the house at 10 a.m., go for auditions, meet people and learn from them. In the evening Kaushal told Sunny and Vicky, “You cannot learn sitting at home. Go anywhere, come back home at 5 o’clock. But go to the market and learn.”

But, the actors were denied the opportunity to audition. “He used to go for auditions and people would refuse to even let him audition. They would say, ‘Why should Vicky audition?’ (Why should we audition Vicky?) But I always taught her, unless you experience humiliation, you will not truly grow. Make that insult your strength,” senior Kaushal recalled.

He further added, “Vicky told me that he has got a role of 3-4 scenes in Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana and many people were telling him not to do a small role. But I have always believed that Beggars can’t be choosers and I told him to listen to his heart. He later called me and said, ‘I keep looking for work and they are giving me work, so I want to do this.’ I stand by his decision.
