Vicky Jain steps into SRK’s shoes for reboot of Fauji
Vicky was a very popular face in Bigg Boss and emerged an household name.
Interestingly, Vicky, professionally, is making his entry into his wife Ankita Lokhande’s field. He essays the role of protagonist in the reboot version of
Shah Rukh Khan’s show Fauji.
Elaborating on Fauji 2, Jain opened up with the media that he is much fortunate enough to be an actor. He has a little experience now facing the camera. So, that was not difficult, but I must say that acting is a serious business. I am lucky that Ankita is there. She really helps me out and makes me understand. This is the first time she’s not around, and I had that fear in my mind. But then she told me that it’s my time to just go and have fun.”
Calling his wife as support system, he said, “Ankita has been like his rock and he would not be here if she would not have been there in his life. She gives him that confidence that ‘yes you can do it and he is going to be there’. When somebody is there constantly with you, who can just tell you these things at the right time, it really helps. When sometimes you don’t know what you can do, it’s important to have somebody there who can just tell you and makes it easy for you and Ankita has always been that.
Making it known that SRK is much aware about the project, Vicky added, that he didn’t know about it. Sandeep (Singh, producer) had informed him and he was quite happy about it. Plans are afoot to visit him soon and take his blessing with the whole team.
Gauahar Khan plays Vicky’s wife in Fauji 2. Talking about her, Vicky shared, that, When he was studying in Pune in the 2000s, Gauahar was already one of the biggest models in India. He would manage passes of some good fashion shows to go and watch her. Gauahar Khan has always been such a big name. He was telling her that there was a time where he would buy passes to watch him, and today he got the opportunity to work with him.
Why he chose Doordarshan over GEC, Vicky said that the TRP of Doordarshan is much bigger than any other GEC because it is widely being seen in further remote areas, where cables and dishes are still not there. Secondly, Doordarshan has got new plans and they want to reinvent themselves. They are planning to come with their OTT channel as well.”
