Father wanted to die 

Vicky revealed that his family hails from a small village in Punjab and despite having an MA degree in English literature, his father was unemployed. "We had no land in Punjab. Once, after drinking with his friends, dad announced that he wanted to die," he said. The Masaan actor further added that his worried grandfather sent Sham Kaushal to Mumbai in 1978 and in the city, he was even willing to work as a sweeper to earn money. "My father's youth was full of struggles. There is no job security in this field. When you are working on a project, you wonder if you will get anything else," he added.

The family was happy when he got the job
