Vicky Kaushal has stood out to be one of the most versatile actors in Bollywood gaining a huge fan following over the years. Marking his debut with 'Masaan' co-starring Richa Chadha and Shweta Tripathi, the film was directed by Neeraj Ghaywan.
He also had a brief role in 'Bombay Velvet' and in 'Luv Shuv Te Chicken Khurana.' The actor competed for eight years in Bollywood and recently admitted that he does not like to shy away from the pressures that come on board with this stardom.

According to a report in Hindustan Times, Vicky Kaushal said, "When it comes to stardom, we cannot take it for granted because stardom is not something that we own. It is given to us by the public," says the actor, adding, "The pressures and responsibilities that come with it, if taken in the right way, is something which will help you grow as an artist and as a human being. I want that pressure to be there with me."
He further said, "I want people to care about my work, expect good and better, in fact, best work from me with every project. When I started off on this journey, it was very clear that there are just two ways for you — one is that you can try and be better with your work, so that people care about what you do."
Vicky Kaushal continued, "And with that, there will be pressure on you and people will expect better work out of you. And second option was that people will not be happy with your work and not care, hence no pressure," explains Kaushal, admitting that he was clear what path he wanted to choose."
He said, "For me, there is no middle ground. I have chosen this path where I want to keep delivering good work, and have that pressure of people wanting good work from me."
Looking back at his journey and winning the Filmfare to the National Award, he said, "Through the years, seeing the highs and lows, the biggest lesson has been something which is straight out of poem by Rudyard Kipling which says that 'Success and failure both are imposters. So, nothing should make you fly too high and nothing should make you feel bogged down too much'. I'm attached to the process. My focus is to be a better actor with every project and every day that passes by, and that's my biggest learning, too."
