On his journey on the Darr Ke Aage Jeet Hai Stories on The Ranveer Show – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDOOQnWYAZM

In a new rollercoaster episode of Darr Ke Aage Jeet Hai Stories by Mountain Dew on The Ranveer Show, Vicky Kaushal not only spilled the beans on his journey to stardom but also offered a rare glimpse into the makings of the Bollywood heartthrob. From sharing his success mantra, to revisiting iconic roles, and even the learnings from wife and actress Katrina Kaif, the episode promises an unfiltered look at the raw and unapologetic Vicky Kaushal.

In the conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia, Vicky reveals the riveting journey that led him to the pinnacle of success. The episode delved into Kaushal’s perspective on fear and the absence of a safety net, showcasing how these elements have fueled his drive for excellence.

Vicky Kaushal opened about his belief that the lack of a safety net in one’s journey to success forces individuals to rely solely on their abilities. According to the actor, this not only pushes you to perform better but also encourages self-discovery and growth. Kaushal emphasized the transformative power of Darr / Fear, positioning it as a driving force that motivates him to give his all in every endeavor.

A key moment in the episode was when Kaushal shared a personal mantra inspired by a well-known saying: “The wolf on the hill is never as hungry as the wolf climbing the hill.” For him, success is an ongoing climb rather than a destination. The actor expressed his determination to keep setting new goals, continuously pushing his limits in both his career and personal life. Success, for Vicky Kaushal, transcends professional achievements, encompassing roles as a husband, actor, brother, son, and friend.

Kaushal also credited his disciplined approach to work to his experience with wife and superstar Katrina Kaif. Drawing inspiration from Katrina’s dedication during action scenes and dance sequences, he highlighted the importance of complete immersion in the creative process. This insight into his work ethic adds a new layer to Vicky Kaushal’s journey, showcasing the blend of hard work, discipline, and gratitude that defines his path to success.

Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla’s music video ‘Jogi‘ is an ode to fashion and music alike. Directed by Neha Sharma and starring supermodel extraordinaires Arjun Rampal, Nayanika Chatterjee, Sheetal Mallar, Carol Gracias, Laxmi Rana, Dino Morea, Dayana Erappa and Rikee Chaterjee, it features a modern rendition of the folk song ‘Ranjha Jogi Ho Gaya’. The song is composed by musical duo ‘Burudu’ and sung beautifully by Isheeta Chakrvarty. ‘Jogi’ was shot along with the docu-video ‘The Return of The Muse’ because if there’s one thing that Abu Sandeep love as much as fashion – it is music.

The atmosphere on set was one of exuberant chaos – a marvellous marriage of fun and fabulosity. A 350-year-old generational property in Goa was the location for this project. Its original Portuguese aesthetic is flawlessly maintained to this day, making it the ideal companion for AJSK couture which is always a love letter to history. Alila Diwa made a picturesque vision in the poolside shots seen in the film. More than 100 people worked tirelessly over 3 days for ‘The Return of the Muse’ and ‘Jogi’. Pranay and Shounak of ‘Who Wore What When’ styled the garments.
