Vicky Kaushal: Vicky Kaushal expressed pain after being trolled on ‘wife joke’, broke silence after months!

After months of heated debate online after they were seen together at a wedding, Vicky Kaushal has finally responded to the criticism he received over his viral ‘wife joke’. The actor acknowledged that there is strict scrutiny and responsibility in public life, and also stressed that celebrities cannot be expected to be perfect all the time.

Vicky Kaushal shares his views on criticism

In a recent conversation with The NOD Magazine, Vicky talked about the reaction to the viral clip and shared his perspective on dealing with public criticism. He said, ‘Just because you are a public figure, it does not mean that you have to be perfect. Sometimes we have to face criticism, and perhaps this is the lesson I have learned from it, that no matter how much love people shower on me, it also comes with a certain kind of responsibility.

How did the controversy start?

The debate started earlier this year when footage of a wedding ceremony surfaced online and quickly went viral on social media platforms. During the event, Vicky gave the groom his famous dialogue, ‘How’s the Josh?’ (How’s Josh?) to which the audience responded as usual: ‘High, sir!’ Seeing the enthusiasm of the audience, the actor then made a humorous comment about married life. ‘I have seen that the enthusiasm of bachelors is always high. The enthusiasm of us married people decreases year by year. But there is nothing to worry about. The excitement does not diminish within just four days of the wedding.

While many saw the conversation as a light-hearted joke, others criticized it, arguing that it promoted old and stereotyped views about marriage that they considered outdated and useless.

Although this criticism sparked a lot of debate, Vicky’s recent comments show that he considers such moments a natural part of stardom. Instead of focusing on controlling public perception, the actor stressed the importance of learning from constructive feedback.
