Vicky Kaushal (pronounced [ˈʋɪkːi ˈkɔːʃəl]; born 16 May 1988) is an Indian actor known for his work in Hindi films. He is the recipient of numerous accolades including a National Film Award and a Filmfare Award.

After graduating with an engineering degree, Kaushal assisted Anurag Kashyap in the 2012 crime drama Gangs of Wasseypur and went on to play minor roles in two of Kashyap's productions. His first leading role was in the 2015 drama Masaan, and he gained wider recognition in 2018 with supporting roles in Raazi and Sanju, two of the highest-grossing Hindi films of the year. For the latter, he won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor.

A starring role as a military officer in the 2019 commercially and critically successful war film Uri: The Surgical Strike established him as a leading actor and won him the National Film Award for Best Actor. He earned further acclaim for his portrayal of Udham Singh in Shoojit Sircar's 2021 biopic Sardar Udham. Kaushal is married to actress Katrina Kaif.

Early life and background[edit]

Kaushal was born on 16 May 1988 in a suburban chawl in Mumbai to Sham Kaushal, a stuntman and subsequent Filmfare Awards winning action director in Hindi films and Veena Kaushal, a homemaker.[2][3] His younger brother, Sunny, is also an actor.[4] His family is Punjabi Hindu who hail originally from Hoshiarpur.[5] Kaushal has described himself as a "regular kid who was interested in studying, playing cricket and watching movies".[3] He graduated with an engineering degree in Electronics and Telecommunications from Mumbai's Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology in 2009.[6][3]

During an industrial visit to an IT company in his graduation year, he realised that he had no real interest in an office job and began aspiring to have a career in film.[3][6] He studied acting at Kishore Namit Kapoor's academy while simultaneously participating in theatre with Manav Kaul's Aranya group and Naseeruddin Shah's Motley Productions; doing everything from backstage and announcements to stand-ins.[7] Kaushal would spend the next two years going for various kinds of auditions, but did not get any good opportunities.[6] His first attempt at acting was in a theatrical production titled Laal Pencil.[6]

Kaushal started his career in films by working as an assistant director to Anurag Kashyap in the two-part crime drama Gangs of Wasseypur (2012).[6][8] Kaushal has described fond memories of working with Kashyap, whom he considers as his mentor.[9] He then played minor roles in Kashyap's productions Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana (2012) and Bombay Velvet (2015), and the short film Geek Out (2013).[6][10]

Career[edit]

Debut and independent films (2015–2018)[edit]

Kaushal and Shweta Tripathi, his co-star in Masaan (2015)

Kaushal's first leading role was in the independent drama Masaan (2015), directed by Neeraj Ghaywan. Kaushal and Ghaywan were both assistants on Gangs of Wasseypur, and he was cast in the film through an audition after Rajkummar Rao backed out.[11][12] The film was screened in the Un Certain Regard segment at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, where it won two awards, including the FIPRESCI Prize.[13]

Masaan earned critical acclaim and The New York Times considered it to be a leading example of increased realism in Indian cinema.[14][15] Nikhil Taneja of HuffPost termed Kaushal's performance "poignant and memorable" and Anuj Kumar of The Hindu wrote that "he effortlessly conveys both the inferiority complex and the attitude of breaking through the caste cauldron".[16][17] His performance won him the IIFA and Screen Awards for Best Male Debut, and a nomination for the Asian Film Award for Best Newcomer, among other accolades.[18][19][20]

Zubaan, which Kaushal had filmed before Masaan, was released in the 2015 Busan International Film Festival after several delays.[5] His role of a grieving man who starts stammering after the suicide of his father,[12] led Justin Chang of Variety to call him a "charismatic, naturally engaging talent".[21]

In Kashyap's psychological thriller Raman Raghav 2.0 (2016), Kaushal played a drug-addicted police officer in pursuit of a serial killer portrayed by Nawazuddin Siddiqui.[5] The film premiered at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, in the Directors' Fortnight section to positive response.[22] He was called by Kashyap and was given two scenes for the audition. In preparation, he isolated himself in a room for five days.[9] Kaushal took on the negative role in an attempt to avoid typecasting and break the image of "the good boy" he gained from his first two films.[9] Writing for Rediff.com, Aseem Chhabra found Kaushal's performance "brave" and "surprising".[23]

Breakthrough and commercial success (2018–2020)[edit]

Kaushal achieved his breakthrough in 2018.[24] He was first seen as the male lead of the romantic comedy Love per Square Foot, India's first Netflix original film.[25] Shweta Ramakrishnan of Firstpost considered the chemistry between Kaushal and his co-star Angira Dhar to be the film's highlight.[26]

He next featured in Meghna Gulzar's spy thriller Raazi (2018), based on Harinder Sikka's novel Calling Sehmat. Set during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, the film tells the real-life story of a young Indian girl from Kashmir (played by Alia Bhatt) who marries a Pakistani army officer (Kaushal) to spy for Indian intelligence. He was drawn to the humanity he found in the story and worked towards conveying both vulnerability and authoritative strength in his character.[27] The film emerged as one of the highest-grossing Hindi films featuring a female protagonist and Meena Iyer of Daily News and Analysis commended Kaushal for being "the correct foil" to Bhatt's character.[28][29]

His second Netflix production of the year was the anthology film Lust Stories. It consists of four short films dealing with female sexuality; Kaushal was seen in Karan Johar's segment as a newly married man who fails to recognise his wife's (played by Kiara Advani) sexual dissatisfaction.[30]

Kaushal's biggest commercial success of 2018 came with Rajkumar Hirani's Sanju, a biopic of the troubled actor Sanjay Dutt, who was portrayed by Ranbir Kapoor in the film. Kaushal played his best friend Kamli, a fictionalised amalgamation of various real-life friends of Dutt.[31] In preparation, he spent time with Paresh Ghelani, who served as the primary inspiration for the role.[31] Rachit Gupta from The Times of India considered Kaushal's work to be "one of the finest performances in the film" and Samrudhi Ghosh of India Today wrote that he "holds his own against Ranbir's superlative performance, and shines in the funny as well as emotional scenes".[32][33] Both Raazi and Sanju proved to be among the highest-grossing Hindi films of 2018, and with earnings of over 5.79 billion (US$81 million), the latter ranks among Indian cinema's biggest grossers.[34][35] For Sanju, Kaushal won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor (tied with Gajraj Rao for Badhaai Ho).[36]

In his final release of the year, Kaushal reunited with Kashyap for Manmarziyaan, a love triangle set in Punjab, co-starring Taapsee Pannu and Abhishek Bachchan.[37] The film premiered at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival and met with positive critical reception, Anupama Chopra took note of how well he used silences to convey his character's pain and desire.[38]

Kaushal receiving the National Film Award for Best Actor at The 66th National Film Awards

In 2019, Kaushal starred as a military officer in Uri: The Surgical Strike, an action film based on the 2016 Uri attack, directed by Aditya Dhar and filmed in Serbia. To prepare, he gained muscle weight, practised a ketogenic diet, and underwent five months of military training and mixed martial arts sessions.[39][40] He injured his arm while filming an action sequence in it.[41] Uday Bhatia of Mint found Kaushal to be a "fetching stoic lead" but bemoaned the lack of depth in his character.[42] Rajeev Masand took note of the film's jingoism and criticised the over-the-top characterisations, but opined that Kaushal "brings both the bulked-up physicality and the sort of steely determination that the part requires".[43] Uri earned 2.4 billion (US$33 million) in India, and over 3.5 billion (US$49 million) worldwide, making it the tenth highest-grossing Indian film domestically.[44][45] Kaushal was awarded with the National Film Award for Best Actor (shared with Ayushmann Khurrana for Andhadhun) and received a Filmfare Award for Best Actor nomination.[46]

A year later, Kaushal featured in the horror film Bhoot – Part One: The Haunted Ship (2020).[47] He played Prithvi Prakashan, an grief-stricken officer who has to move an abandoned but haunted ship lying static on Juhu Beach.[48] He suffered an accident during the filming of an action sequence and fractured his cheekbone that resulted in him needing 13 stitches.[49] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV found Kaushal to be "earnest" in a film he considered to be a "horrific misfire".[50]

Continued success (2021-present)[edit]

Kaushal's only release of 2021 was Shoojit Sircar's Sardar Udham which was released on Amazon Prime Video on 16 October after multiple delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. The film is based on the life of Udham Singh, a revolutionary freedom fighter best known for assassinating Michael O'Dwyer, the former Lieutenant Governor of Punjab in London to take revenge for 1919's Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar. In order to play the younger version of Singh who was nineteen years old at the time of the massacre, Kaushal lost over fifteen kilograms within two months.[51] The film received widespread critical acclaim, particularly for Kaushal's performance with Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV calling it his best performance to date.[52] Subhash K Jha of Firstpost shared the same opinion, adding "Kaushal's Udham Singh is a performance laced with grace, tinged with bitterness, and defined by a dormant rage".[53]

Kaushal has completed working on three upcoming projects. He will be seen next playing the title role in Shashank Khaitan's comedy film Govinda Naam Mera alongside Kiara Advani and Bhumi Pednekar.[54] He will also feature opposite Manushi Chhillar in Vijay Krishna Acharya's family comedy drama, The Great Indian Family[55] and Laxman Utekar's untitled next co-starring Sara Ali Khan.[56] He is also filming for director Anand Tiwari's yet untitled film co-starring Tripti Dimri.[57]

His second collaboration with Meghna Gulzar, a biopic titled Sam Bahadur on the life of Field marshal Sam Manekshaw, has been officially announced.[58] Kaushal is additionally set to re-team with Aditya Dhar in the mythological based superhero movie The Immortal Ashwatthama opposite Sara Ali Khan in a planned trilogy backed by Ronnie Screwvala.[59] Filming of the project has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in India.[60]

Personal life and media image[edit]

Kaushal's personal life has been the subject of extensive media attention. Although he is known for his media-friendly attitude, he has been guarded about discussing his relationships.[61][62] He first started dating actress Harleen Sethi in 2018. They broke up in 2019.[63][64] Kaushal married actress Katrina Kaif on 9 December 2021 in a traditional Hindu ceremony at Six Senses Resort, Fort Barwara in Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan.[65] The wedding attracted substantial media coverage in India.[66]

Kaushal has been cited as one of the most attractive Indian celebrities by the media. He topped The Times of India's listing of the country's most desirable men of 2018,[67] he was ranked at No. 4 in 2019[68] as well as 2020.[69] In 2018, Forbes India featured him in their 30 Under 30 list[70] as well as their list of 'Tycoons of Tomorrow'.[71] The following year, he appeared in the magazine's Celebrity 100 list, ranking 72nd with an estimated annual income of 104.2 million (US$1.4 million).[72] Kaushal was also India's most searched film actor in 2019, according to Google[72]

In addition to his acting career, Kaushal is a celebrity spokesperson of several brands and products, including Havells, Reliance Trends, and Oppo, charging 2 crore (US$280,000)—3 crore (US$420,000) annually per brand.[73]

In 2019, Kaushal joined the efforts of the United Nations and the Government of India in spreading awareness regarding air pollution.[74] Later that year, he visited sepoys in Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh at the Indo-China border as part of NDTV's reality program Jai Jawan.[75] In 2020, Kaushal contributed ₹1 crore to the PM CARES Fund and Maharashtra Chief Minister's Relief Fund[76] and collaborated with the NGO GiveIndia on a fundraiser to provide ration kits to daily wage workers struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic in India.[77]
