Vicky Kaushal says the decision to feature in his first music video, Pachtaoge, was purely driven by nostalgia

Call it the Midas touch or simply a hot streak, but everything that Vicky Kaushal touches is turning to gold. Only a fortnight after bagging the coveted National Award for his performance in Uri: The Surgical Strike, the actor has featured in his first music video, Pachtaoge, opposite Nora Fatehi. The track is already being talked about, as much for its leading man as for Arijit Singh's soothing vocals.
"At first, I did not know whether the song is working or not," laughs Kaushal, overwhelmed with the love coming his way. "You can gauge your film's performance basis the audience's and critics' reactions, and the numbers of tickets being sold. But I couldn't understand if Pachtaoge was working. People around me said that it was trending on social media and had got 24 million views on YouTube. So, I called Nora to understand how it was faring. She told me it was startling as sad songs usually don't get so much attention. I am happy that the first single I featured in, is receiving so much love." The number, shot over a two-day schedule in Shimla, revolves around heartbreak and betrayal.
