Did you know Malavika Mohanan and Vicky Kaushal were neighbours growing up? The actress made his revelation in a recent appearance on Ranveer Allahabadia’s podcast. Vicky and Malavika were neighbours in Mumbai when they were kids, and as such, attended birthday parties and spent a lot of time together socially.

Malavika said, “We used to be neighbours when we were growing up. He’s my oldest friend and my first friend ever. Because I was like one and he was like six or seven. I’ve known him since then. We just meet and eat good food. My mom makes lovely Malayali food. So we catch up over food and conversation, not really a lot of reflective topics come up.”

She said that they do not discuss their careers with one another. Malavika also talked about Vicky’s dancing skills and said, “He has always been a very good dancer. In childhood, we would all play passing the parcel at birthday parties. And we would all do things we were good at. For him, it was always dance. He was a very captivating dancer.”

Meanwhile, Malavika is seen in Prabhas’ The Raja Saab. Directed by Maruthi, The Raja Saab also stars Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Riddhi Kumar, and Zarina Wahab. Produced by TG Vishwa Prasad under People Media Factory, The Raja Saab released in India on Friday (January 9) in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.

As for Vicky Kaushal, he was last seen in Chhaava. The actor is now shooting for Love and War, co-starring Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor. In a recent interview, the actor talked about being a part of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film and shared that the team is having a ‘great time’ working on it. “It’s on the bucket list of every actor to be a part of a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. I’ve admired his films, I’ve admired him as a filmmaker, and I think he’s truly a unique voice from India, someone who has a vision, who tells stories in ways nobody else can,” Vicky told Just Too Filmy.
