Vicky Kaushal compares Katrina Kaif to Hema Malini and Amitabh Bachchan, says she represents India on the global stage

He said, “I’ve always said that an industry is known by a few faces and Katrina has reached a stage where she is known globally. Like Mr Bachchan, there are only a few such names. Once upon a time there used to be Hema Malini.”

He continued, “Katrina has achieved that position, and it is not at all easy to achieve this position. I believe that whatever he has done, she has done it completely on her own. I look up to her for what she has achieved and I have a long way to go before I reach that level. I think it is also good that we both learn and share a lot from each other.”

Vicky started out as an assistant director, and made his lead acting debut with the acclaimed drama Masaan. He has since branched out into more mainstream roles, appearing in films such as Sanju, Uri: The Surgical Strike, and most recently, Govinda Naam Mera. Katrina, on the other hand, has always been a mainstream star. She most recently appeared in the horror comedy Phone Bhoot. They tied the knot in a private but lavish ceremony in Rajasthan last year, after quietly dating through the pandemic.
