My Take
Vicky Kaushal represents the path I respect most in Hindi cinema: talent first, stardom later. An engineering graduate from Mumbai who detoured into acting, he built his name through performance rather than pedigree, and you can feel that earned quality in his work. His turn in Uri: The Surgical Strike showed he could carry a blockbuster, but it is his range — indie dramas, romances, intense character studies — that convinces me he will help define his generation. A National Film Award and multiple Filmfare wins back that up. There is an unforced sincerity in his eyes on screen that cannot be coached, and I suspect he will only grow more formidable with age.
