Vicky Kaushal's nazar utraai

In the video, the longtime helper at his home, Asha Tai, was seen doing the ritual as Vicky stood right outside the entrance of the apartment. The actor smiled and looked on as the woman told him to turn around so as to complete the ritual. After she was done, Vicky folded his hands and asked if he could come in.

In the caption, he wrote: “Asha Tai has seen me grow… in height and in life, both. Yesterday she saw #Chhaava and insisted… “उभे रहा, नज़र उतराएची आहे तुमची” (Stand there let me do the nazar utraai ritual for you) … This has always been her way of showing love and protecting me from abundance of it. So happy to have her in my life! 🤍🧿”
