‘Tauba Tauba’: Why Vicky Kaushal is suddenly all anyone can think about

Actor blows up on social media for his performance in new music video for upcoming film

KARACHI:

Ladies and gentlemen, we need to talk about Vicky Kaushal. Yes, Katrina’s husband. The man who has captured the hearts of millions including our beloved Bollywood queen, and now we finally understand why. He is also the star of our current obsession: Tauba Tauba. If you haven’t been living under a rock, you already know that this video from the upcoming film Bad Newz has been blowing up on everyone's For You page. And let me tell you, once it comes up, you’re hooked. Seriously, if someone walks past your room at any point in the day, all they’re going to hear is “husn tera tauba tauba tauba tauba” on a loop. Vicky’s charisma is undeniable, and it’s about time we all woke up to it.

Let’s get one thing straight: people always rave about Hrithik’s dance moves, and yes, he’s a legend, no doubt. But have you seen Vicky in Tauba Tauba? It’s almost unfair how easy he makes it look. And the style? Don’t even get me started. The man is a walking fashion statement, rocking the suit and waistcoat combo (sans shirt) in the music video.

But let’s not just focus on the surface-level stuff here. Vicky is not just a pretty face and a killer dancer. Oh no, he’s much more than that. The guy has a heart of gold. Seriously, he’s the whole package. Did you know that Vicky is involved in numerous philanthropic ventures? From supporting NGOs focused on women-child centric issues and education to social initiatives for daily wage workers, Vicky is there, putting in the work. 

Now, back to Tauba Tauba. It’s impossible to watch this video without being mesmerised by Vicky’s presence. His energy is infectious, and his performance is nothing short of electrifying. The man knows how to command attention, and he does it with such ease that you can’t help but be drawn in. And let’s be real, how many times have you found yourself watching the video on repeat, just to catch every little nuance of his performance? Don’t be ashamed; we’re all in the same boat here.

Fan reactions have been a series of hearts and fire emojis under videos of the song. A fan commented, “Now I can say his moves are better than Tiger and Hrithik.” Good, we both agree then. Someone wrote, “Literally obsessed,” while another simply put, “Slay!” Others shared similar sentiments. “Vicky is killing it. So graceful and effortless,” and “Have this on repeat.”

And speaking of repeat watches, can we talk about how addictive the song is? It may just be this summer’s anthem. The Karan Aujla masterpiece is the kind of tune that gets stuck in your head, and you find yourself humming it at the most random and sometimes inconvenient times. It’s a certified ear worm, and we’re not complaining. In fact, it’s become a bit of a joke among friends.

Now, the star has finally revealed how Katrina, an ace dancer herself, has reacted to his moves in the song. Speaking to Zoom, Vicky said when Katrina saw him in Tauba Tauba, she dubbed his moves “perfect”. She also took to her Instagram story to give a shout-out to the trailer of Bad Newz.  Reposting the trailer from Vicky's Instagram account, Katrina wrote, “Can't wait for this. Congratulations.” We love a couple obsessed with each other.

He’s taken the internet by storm, and we’re all just along for the ride. If this is the reaction to one music video from the film, what can we expect once Bad Newz releases? The rise of more fangirls? Would we have a name we call ourselves? I vote for “Kaushal Crew”. While we wait, hit that replay button, turn up the volume, and let’s keep the Tauba Tauba love going strong.
