Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal is at the peak of his career today. His films are coming back to back and his fan following has reached crores. But do you know that when he entered the film industry, he had to face strange situations many times. Vicky Kaushal’s film ‘Masaan’ was a blockbuster hit, the film got a rating of 8.1 on IMDb. But to get this film, Vicky had to go through an embarrassing situation. He had narrated this anecdote in an event.
Had to learn swimming because of monsoon
When the film’s director Neeraj Ghaywan was showing him the script, Vicky Kaushal asked him, listen Neeraj, I wanted to talk to him, Anurag sir was saying something about jumping into the Ganges. So the director said that yes you have to do that but you know swimming, right? Vicky Kaushal, who has hydrophobia (fear of water), started fearing that the film might go out of his hands. So Vicky then said that yes, meaning I can do it. But the director understood from his way of talking that he did not know how.
Actor used to learn swimming among children
Director Neeraj advised him to forget the script and first go and learn swimming. Vicky Kaushal told that I went to learn swimming where I am 6 feet 4 inches tall, because I have to do the movie Masaan. Vicky told that when he used to stand in the pool, the rest of the batch would come up to his waist. The actor told that the small children used to start swimming vigorously as soon as they entered the pool and they were learning to paddle by standing on the side. Vicky told that even children used to enjoy them.
Children used to come and enjoy Vicky.
Vicky Kaushal told that when he was hitting his hands and legs, he would often ask the swimming coach, Sir, am I doing it right, then the children understood that he did not know it at all. The actor told that when he was practicing, many times children would come and tell him to straighten his legs. Let us tell you that Vicky Kaushal had to face this hydrophobia even when he did Karan Johar Production’s film Bhoot.
