Vicky Kaushal says Hrithik Roshan was last person to witness stardom: “Right now, there’s confusion among the younger lot”

Vicky Kaushal has come a long way since way Masaan. He enjoys a great fan following. However, he doesn’t consider himself a star yet. The actor says that the stardom that Dilip Kumar, Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan have enjoyed is so different from today’s times. He also said that the last time he could connect with someone was Hrithik Roshan.

Speaking to GQ India, he said, “I’ll tell you very frankly: Stardom is defined by the number of people who come to watch your film on day one, in a theatre—without being dependent on how good the trailer was, how fantastic the songs were, or how cool the poster was. They come to watch you. Irrespective of everything else. That’s the true definition of stardom. And honestly, that hasn’t happened to me yet. I still need to achieve that. I am not there yet.”

The actor continued, “I think the idea of classic stardom will be replaced by a different version. The kind of popularity that Dilip Kumar, Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan must have seen is as different from what Shah Rukh Khan has experienced. It’s still huge but a different manifestation of the same glory. The last person I felt this way about was Hrithik Roshan. It was a phenomenon that hit everybody. Right now, there’s confusion among the younger lot. Because we see a star every week who trends and then nobody remembers them a few weeks later. For this generation, it will be much harder to attain the stardom of the past.”

On the work front, Vicky Kaushal will next star in Chhava with Rashmika Mandanna, Love & War with Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor and Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam with Triptii Dimri.
