Bollywood star Vicky Kaushal recently shared a powerful piece of advice from a 'senior actor' on handling anxiety—'make anxiety your friend'. Reflecting on his early career struggles, Vicky also recalled a time when he didn’t have the privilege of picking roles, highlighting how far he's come in the industry.

In a recent chat with Harper’s Bazaar, Vicky Kaushal shared his personal approach to deal with anxiety. He revealed that a senior actor once advised him to view anxiety as a friend, emphasizing the importance of mastering rather than avoiding it. Vicky shared, “A senior actor once told me to make anxiety your friend. It’s always going to be there; you just need to master it. Acknowledging it is a great first step.”

Vicky Kaushal's career reflects his versatility and dedication to unique roles in films. He shared that his journey has often been guided by circumstance, especially in the early days when he lacked the freedom to choose projects. “When I started, I didn’t have the luxury of choice. I auditioned for roles, and the films chose me rather than the other way around,” he said. 

Embracing each opportunity, Vicky used these early experiences as stepping stones, building a path toward the diverse and acclaimed roles he enjoys today.
