Sunny Kaushal says neither he nor Vicky Kaushal ever used father Sham Kaushal’s name to bag films: ‘Usse koi fayeda bhi nahi…’

The Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga actor said though he is proud of his surname, he and his brother Vicky never used it to bag work. He said, “I am really proud of my name and my surname but we never used it. We have never gone to a place and said, ‘You know my father is also from the film industry’. Aisa nahi hota tha, usse koi fayeda bhi nahi hai (This didn’t use to happen and it’s not like it would’ve helped us either).”

The Kaushals are a close-knit family, with the latest addition being Vicky’s wife, Katrina Kaif. Between his brother and sister-in-law, Sunny still chooses his brother. He opined, “Bhaiya nahi hote toh bhabhi kahan se aati (If my brother didn’t exist, how would have I gotten Katrina in my life).”

Sunny will be next seen in Taapsee Pannu-starrer Haseen Dilruba Phirse. His brother Vicky Kaushal recently starred in Meghna Gulzar’s Sam Bahadur, and then appeared in an extended cameo in Dunki.
