Vicky Kaushal shares hilarious story about swallowing an iron nail and his Great Indian Family coming to his rescue: ‘They made me eat bananas in milk’

Describing how his family reacted to the doctor’s advice and how they managed to navigate this challenging situation, Vicky said, “The word ‘operation’ made my family scared. My whole extended family would come together when we used to go to our village. So, it used to be like a great Indian family with some 25-30 people together. They made it their mission to ensure that the nail comes out naturally from my body. So, they made me eat so many bananas with milk that I would go to relieve myself multiple times in a day. My job was simple, but my aunt took this tough task upon herself to check if I had passed the nail. When she found the nail, she came out dancing from the bathroom. Where else will things like this happen other than an Indian family.”

The Great Indian Family, written and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, follows Kaushal’s character, Bhajan Kumar, as he grapples with an identity crisis triggered by a letter claiming he was born as a Muslim. The film also features Manushi Chhillar, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, and Alka Amin in pivotal roles and is set to hit screens on September 22.
