Previously, in an interview with News18, Vicky Kaushal spoke about Dahi Handi celebrations. He said, “Growing up in Mumbai, Dahi Handi was more than just a celebration. It was all about the spirit, unity, and unbreakable bonds of the people. I always felt that the human pyramid formed to break the ‘Handi’ is a powerful metaphor for resilience and unity. This festival reflects India’s spirit. I am extremely delighted that this year, I get to be a part of that infectious vibe and celebrate it with such enthusiastic kids. This will definitely take me down my childhood memory lane when I used to go with my family for the local Dahi Handi celebration.”
Speaking of The Great Indian Family, the makers released its first teaser on August 14, offering a glimpse into the comical family drama. In the teaser, Vicky passionately talks about family bonds but becomes emotional when describing his eccentric family members. He compares his family to a ‘snake’ that could ruin his dreams, but then changes his tone, explaining that he’s warning the audience about “The Great Indian Family."
