Vicky Kaushal, who is all set for the release of his upcoming film, 'Bad Newz' talked about his initial struggles in Bollywood in a recent interview.
Vicky Kaushal is all busy promoting his upcoming film, Bad Newz. The film's trailer, songs, and Vicky's impressive dance steps have already created a buzz around the film. Everyone is already talking about the actor before his film's release, but Vicky Kaushal's journey to popularity wasn't easy. In a recent interview, the Sam Bahadur actor opened up about his initial struggles in Bollywood.
Vicky Kaushal began working in the Hindi film industry as an assistant director for Gangs of Wasseypur. Despite being the son of action director, Sham Kaushal, his journey wasn't simple in Bollywood. Vicky revealed that in the initial days of his career, he used to ask for small roles in ad films and earn Rs. 200-300. He was quoted as saying:
"I remember I used to ask for small roles in ad films that would pay Rs. 200-300 and now I am grateful for being where I am. If anyone would have told me 10-12 years back that my songs would become so famous and I would have a fanbase, I would have laughed and said, 'kya mazak kar rahe ho yaar...' but today, by God's grace and my parent's blessings."
