Make no mistake. While speculations about the actor’s upcoming wedding ceremony with Katrina Kaif had been rife, he isn’t referring to that here. The actor has neither showed nor denied the news. In an specific verbal exchange with Bombay Times around his movie Sardar Udham, Vicky did talk about battling the hard pandemic segment and overcoming isolation. Brimming with desire and excitement, he said, “This phase of life feels positive and exciting. Slowly and steadily, we have returned to a time where theatres have opened up. People are getting back to normalcy. We are stepping out. Maintaining safety and precaution is a must but it’s a big relief. We have been waiting for this time for a while. We are leaving Covid behind one step at a time.”
When asked if the pandemic took a toll on his mental health, the actor agreed. He explained, “Definitely! I was affected initially. I don’t think we have ever skilled a time where we have been cooped up in our houses for months at a stretch. In my case, I live in a big society, and it was a containment zone once the count of covid patients went up to 7-8. For months I had not even seen the face of the lift or even people on my floor. It started off with us feeling it’s a way of taking a break from routine but then everyone got impatient as the cases rose and the situation got serious. All of us knew of someone who was going through a crisis due to the pandemic. It was a phase where we were trying to get a grip on our emotions.”
While he’s one of the most promising actors of today, his adventure to stardom became peppered with its very own challenges.
Speaking of maintaining his struggle private, he added, “I don’t delve into people knowing my struggles as it’s my personal journey of growth. Along the way, I realised I do have self-doubt. I won’t say insecurity but there’s always this fear that I could fail or blow it. The pressure is more when accomplished directors trust you with their story.”
