“It happens quite often that she’ll go (gestures with a slapping hand). But for Dad, there used to be a couple of important events every year. And they came about four to five times a year. They would be important and memorable ones.”

The Kaushal Brothers’ Childhood Antics

Sunny shared a particularly amusing aspect of his brother’s personality from childhood his tendency to talk in his sleep.

He shared, “As a child, he (Vicky) would talk in his sleep. People usually blabber in their sleep, he used to give an entire performance. I would get confused if he is awake or asleep. I still remember, one night I was going to sleep and he had slept 45 minutes before me, so he was in deep sleep. We used to share a room. He suddenly threw his blanket away and said, ‘Check it.’ I said, ‘What?’ He said, ‘I am done with my paper, check it.

He also revealed that Vicky Kaushal used to talk in his sleep with his eyes open. If he attempted to wake Vicky, he would startle, and hence Sunny had to engage in a conversation until Vicky slept.”
