The road to Katrina’s heart wasn’t easy. Zara Hatke Zara Bachke’s Vicky Kaushal went through several hardships to finally get his knot tied with Kat – the fabulous dancer of Kamli, Chikni Chameli, and Sheila Ki Jawani. Did you forget Ishq Shawa from Jab Tak Hai Jaan?
You better not, because that’s where Vicky Kaushal was rejected for Katrina. Shocked? SRK’s blockbuster JTHJ, directed by Yash Chopra and released in 2012, stars Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif, Anushka Sharma, Sharib Hashmi and Sarika among others. Zain Mirza, SRK’s best friend in the movie was originally tried upon by another actor. It was Katrina’s now-husband Vicky Kaushal. Sharib Hashmi revealed that it was Vicky Kaushal who had also auditioned to play Zain’s role. However, the film’s team did not find Vicky suitable for the role of Zain.
In London, Samar falls for Meera but returns to India to work as a bomb disposal specialist after she leaves him. Akira, a journalist, falls in love with him but decides to unite the lovers. After getting rejected for JTHJ, Vicky came back with Masaan in 2015. He then starred in Anurag Kashyap‘s psychological thriller Raman Raghav 2.0 (2016) followed by Raazi, Manmarziyaan, and Sanju. His role as a military officer in the 2019 war film Uri: The Surgical Strike garnered him praise. Just one rejection boosted him to do such promising roles. Failure is the stepping stone to success!
From getting rejected in Katrina’s movies to getting a permanent casting in her life, Vicky shows us that if we dream big, we’re sure to fly.
