A regular day never looked so good. With a wardrobe steeped in drama and a journey from day to night, Vogue wakes up with Vicky Kaushal and model Pooja Mor and has a nightcap with Aditya Roy Kapur and Sushmita Pathak—all in this season’s favourites
CRITICS’ CHOICE
From restrained performances to mainstream conviction, he’s the thinking person’s actor and a star in his own right. And as he readies to play Aurangzeb and Udham Singh, VICKY KAUSHAL is committed to having his best year in cinema yet, all with a singlehanded devotion to entertainment, finds Rituparna Som
Seven years ago, Vicky Kaushal clutched firmly onto his backpack as he waited for a train at one of Mumbai’s busiest local stations, Dadar. It was late, the station and trains were relatively empty, but Kaushal’s grip was resolute; he was carrying precious cargo, after all. Inside his bag was his first pay cheque— 1,500 for working backstage at a Rage Pro-ductions play. Kaushal felt so privileged, he decided to treat himself to a seat on the train as opposed to his usual hanging out of the carriage (“for the breeze,” he explains).Fast forward to May 2019, Kaushal has just returned from New York, where he celebrated his 31st birthday. At the café of a Mumbai five-star hotel, he is interrupted thrice in 45 minutes—one wants a selfie, another wants to congratulate him on his performances, and the third bunch tells him how much they love seeing him on screen and what a formidable talent he is. He is gracious with each, first apologising for halting our interview, then obliging a couple who risk missing their flight for an opportunity to get a Vicky Kaushal selfie.
