VICKY KAUSHAL

Vicky Kaushal, born on 16 May 1988 in Mumbai, is one of the most critically acclaimed actors of his generation. The son of Bollywood stunt director Sham Kaushal, he studied engineering before switching to acting — a decision that paid off spectacularly.

His breakthrough came with the patriotic war film URI: The Surgical Strike (2019), whose How's the Josh? dialogue became a cultural phenomenon. He followed it with the Sam Bahadur biopic, cementing his status as Bollywood's go-to actor for real-life roles.

Vicky married actress Katrina Kaif in December 2021 in a fairytale wedding at Rajasthan's Six Senses Fort Barwara — one of the most celebrated celebrity weddings in recent memory.
