Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal penned a heartfelt note for his househelp Asha Tai on Friday after she performed a ritual on him to ward off evil eye. Vicky said that she watched his latest release, Chhaava, a day prior and showered him with love.
Vicky took to his Instagram and shared a video in which his Asha Tai can be seen performing the ‘nazar utarna’ ritual on the actor. As she blessed him, he thanked her with folded hands.
“Asha Tai has seen me grow… in height and in life, both. Yesterday she saw #Chhaava and insisted… “उभे रहा, नज़र उतराएची आहे तुमची” … This has always been her way of showing love and protecting me from abundance of it. So happy to have her in my life! (sic),” he wrote along with the video.
Chhaava has emerged to be a hit among the masses and within a week of its release, the film breached the Rs 200 crore mark. In the film, Vicky essays the role of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the son of the Maratha legend, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
With no major releases this week, Chhaava is now eyeing the coveted Rs 300 crore club, and the feat does not seem impossible, given the buzz around the film.
Earlier, Vicky had penned a note of gratitude for his fans for the overwhelming response to Chhaava. “Dil bhar aaya hai aap sabka pyaar dekhkar…Thank you so much!”, he wrote on Instagram.
“All your messages, calls… all the videos you all are sharing of your experience of watching CHHAAVA… I’m seeing it all… taking it all in. Thank you for all your love… Grateful to each and every one of you for celebrating the glory of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj (sic),” he had earlier mentioned.
Chhaava also stars Rashmika Mandanna as Maharani Yesubai and Akshaye Khanna as Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.
