“Subconsciously, there was always an actor inside me. But while growing...” — Vicky Kaushal Quote

Subconsciously, there was always an actor inside me. But while growing up, it was a very normal childhood because my dad never got films to the dining table and never discussed films.

I don't categorise cinema at all. If I am doing this, that means I am limiting myself.

I would want to believe that every film I do turns out to be the turning point of my career.

'Raazi,' for me, is a human story - it's much more than just a spy thriller.

The biggest validation comes from my parents, because they know me in and out.

My wife doesn't cook, so we eat out every night. It's not fine dining or anything - we're not fancy people.

Living in Manhattan, food and dining out was almost like a religion. A deep part of the city's culture and a major reason for even living in N.Y.C. in the first place.

Our house has a library - it seemed better use of the space than as a dining room! - and I try to spend as much time in there as possible. There's nothing better while reading or writing than to be surrounded by books.

History has long had a wall up between the kitchen and the dining room. Front of house, back of house - one group always wielded more power and influence.
