The year 2021 could very well be described as the "year of celebrity weddings". From Varun Dhawan to Rajkummar Rao, we saw the most eligible bachelors and bachelorettes of Indian cinema walk down the matrimonial aisle. But it would also not be wrong to say that the excitement around Vicky Kushal and Katrina Kaif's wedding festivities that are underway now in Rajasthan's Sawai Madhopur is at another level altogether. From blurry videos of the venue to wild jabs at the guest list, Bollywood fans are indulging in some fun banter about the much-awaited wedding. We take this opportunity to look closely at groom Vicky Kaushal's family as they get ready to welcome Katrina Kaif into their fold.
We start with the patriarch Sham Kaushal, who has been a part of the film industry for decades as a renowned action director. Sham Kaushal began his career as a stuntman and worked his way up as an action director. He is known for his work in films such as Hero, Gangs of Wasseypur, Bajirao Mastani, Gunday, Ram Leela and Gangubai Kathiawadi. He has worked with several veteran actors including Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Jackie Shroff, Sanjay Dutt, Aishwarya Rai among others.
Here's a look at a picture shared by Sham Kaushal from his time as a stunt double for actor Govinda.
Vicky Kaushal's mother, Veena Kaushal is the nucleus of the family as is evident from the pictures and videos shared by Kaushals on Instagram. In November, Vicky Kaushal shared a photo of the family celebrating Veena Kaushal's 60th birthday and the couple's 35th wedding anniversary. Sharing a photo with his parents, Vicky wrote, “She turned 60. They turned 35. Quite a special day for the Kaushal household.”
Next on the block is Vicky Kaushal's younger brother Sunny Kaushal. One look at him and you will agree that acting talent and penchant for the movies run in the family. Sunny Kaushal followed in the footsteps of his older brother. He started his journey in the film industry as an assistant director on films such as My Friend Pinto and Gunday. Sunny Kaushal made his debut in the 2016 film Sunshine Music Tours and Travels. He followed this up with work in films like Gold and Shiddat.
Sunny Kaushal also got the chance to work with his father in the web series The Forgotten Army - Azaadi Ke Liye. Sharing a photo of the father-son duo on set, dad Sham Kaushal wrote, “God is kind. Father and son during the shoot of The Forgotten Army- Azadi Ke Liye… brilliantly directed by Mr Kabir Khan. Feeling so happy and blessed to see Sunny Kaushal turning into a hard-working, honest and confident actor. Thank u, Kabir Khan.”
Sunny Kaushal is rumoured to be dating actress, Sharvari Wagh.
