Vicky Kaushal reveals mother’s savage taunt after he got a little overweight: ‘Yeh hai most desirable?’

Asked if success has changed him, he said, “It’s part of my culture, it’s part of who I am. So, if that is not there, then I am not me. I can’t lose myself, I can’t lose who I am. A part of my goes into every character I play. The middle-class culture has been drilled into me.”

Recalling the funny story about his mother, he added, “I remember, in 2018 or 2019, one of the leading publications put me on a list of the ‘most desirable’ men. And I had come back from a trip where I’d had great fun with friends. We ate a lot, so I was a little (gestures to suggest that he was overweight). And I came back, I was lying down, shirt open, and my mom is like, ‘Ae dekh lo, yeh hai most desirable’. When you get trolled at home, you remain grounded. Internet can’t shake me.”

Even Vicky’s wife, Katrina Kaif, has assimilated into his middle-class household. She said on The Kapil Sharma Show, “Initially, Mummy ji used to urge me a lot to have parathas and since I’m on a diet I couldn’t have it so I used to just have a bite. And, now that we have almost completed a year of our marriage, Mummy ji now prepares sweet potatoes for me. My in-laws call me Kitto with love.”
