Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal, who is gearing up for the release of his film Sam Bahadur, revealed that he did 10 knuckle push-ups with Indian Military Academy cadets as a ritual before wrapping up the shoot. Vicky took to Instagram, where he shared a video of him doing the push-ups with the "spirited" cadets.
He captioned it, “#IndianMilitaryAcademy with the cadets there for one of the important sequences in the Film. They said they would finish their drills with 10 knuckle pushups... so it became a ritual for me as well... no matter how tired we were at the end of the shoot... "pack up" would only be called when I did those 10 knuckle pushups with them.”
“Such spirited boys at the IMA!!! One of the most disciplined and inspiring places I have been to. #VickyKaushal takes us back to the shoot of one of the key sequences of #SamBahadur at #IndianMilitaryAcademy!”
He concluded by saying, “Lauding IMA as the most disciplined and spirited places, the actor embraced the cadets’ tradition of ending drills with 10 knuckle pushups.”
