EXCLUSIVE: “I find solace and peace with my family, not work”, says Vicky Kaushal

It is said by a lot of celebrities that as you climb up or grow more, you get lonelier. URI actor, Vicky Kaushal, has seen many highs and lows before it made it to the top. Recently at the Bollywood Hungama Actors Round Table 2022 presented by Astroyogi, when Vicky Kaushal was asked, whether one gets lonelier after reaching great heights or they reach in a much more secure position, to which he replied, “My life is my work. But my life is more importantly my family and my friends. I find my solace and peace of mind over there. I am not really dependent on finding that solace in my work. I definitely want satisfaction. But my eventual base core peace of mind is very much dependent on my home, family and friends. They are my core, my ground zero”.

This family man, further continuing his perspective on this topic shared that, “I am very attached to the process, but also little detached to the results, be it positive or negative. I just never want to be at the mercy of result as it is a dangerous ‘Rabbit Hole’. It is a very subjective topic; I cannot generalize this topic of discussion. Personally, what helps me is just to know that I want to sleep well every night. The only thing that matters to me predominantly is to know that my family is safe, happy and healthy. That gives me the best sleep”.

Talking about his work, he said, “When it comes to work, some days are going to be off while some days are going to great; some films are going to work, some might not. But what really gives me peace of mind is something completely different from work”.

It is a difficult art to achieve as it is not easy for an artist to detach themselves from the results, due to the weightage of consequences attached to it. It differs from artist to artist.
