Vicky Kaushal says he never compares himself to other stars, reveals he still has ‘fan’ moments

The most recent episode of Koffee With Karan 7 saw Vicky Kaushal share the couch with Sidharth Malhotra. During the episode, Vicky spoke candidly about comparing his career with those of Ranveer Singh and Ranbir Kapoor throughout the conversation.

Vicky was questioned by Karan Johar during one of the talk show segments about whether he had fallen victim to the comparison trap. The actor then said, “I feel all these tracks are running parallely and everybody’s pursuit is for excellence and everybody’s pursuit is for leaving a great legacy behind. That is what we are all pursuing for and that's what we are all aiming for, that is what we are all working hard for. I think with changing times the definition of being a star changes.”

Vicky continued by mentioning how he used to watch them before breaking into the business and how he still has fanboy moments with them. He added, “With my contemporaries alone, I started watching Student Of The Year and all before I even entered the industry. I have seen them and I have admired them and I have already looked up to them ki ‘yaar kabhi mujhe bhi aisi film mile’(When will I get movies like these). So I never get into this comparison that I never feel that I am equal to them. I feel ki acha yaar meri journey chal rahi hai (I'm glad my journey is going smoothly). I used to watch their films when I wasn’t even in the industry, be it Ranbir, Ranveer even Sid everybody. It just doesn’t come to me organically. Like sometimes I have fan moments with them.”

Vicky will next be seen in Govinda Naam Mera alongside Kiara Advani and Bhumi Pednekar at work. He will appear opposite Sara Ali Khan in the upcoming untitled Laxman Utekar film. The actor will also share the screen with Sanya Malhotra and Fatima Sana Shaikh, in Sam Bahadur. He also has Tripti Dimri and Anand Tiwari's upcoming film in his kitty as well.
