"Vicky Kaushal Shares Heartwarming Reaction from Sam Manekshaw's Daughter After 'Tauba Tauba'"
Vicky Kaushal recently opened up about his experience playing Sam Manekshaw in Meghna Gulzar’s film “Sam Bahadur” and shared a touching story involving the late Army chief’s daughter, Maya Manekshaw. Despite “Sam Bahadur” not achieving the expected box office success, especially with competition from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s “Animal,” Kaushal’s portrayal of India’s first Field Marshal was widely praised.
In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Vicky Kaushal described the role as his most challenging yet. He reminisced about how his parents, who lived through the 1971 India-Pakistan war, would recount stories of waiting for Sam Manekshaw’s updates. “Portraying a legendary figure like Sam Manekshaw was a significant responsibility,” Kaushal said, commending Meghna Gulzar for her dedication.
Kaushal also recounted a memorable interaction with Maya Manekshaw. After watching the song “Tauba Tauba” from his latest film, “Bad Newz,” Maya sent him a message saying, “Five months ago, you made me believe you were my father; you can’t be doing this now.” Vicky found it to be the highest compliment, reflecting the profound impact his performance had on the Manekshaw family. Despite the film’s performance, Vicky Kaushal’s portrayal of Sam Manekshaw continues to resonate with audiences and solidify his place as a top Bollywood actor.
