Vicky also shared that the Punjab government’s ban on dance in theater caused him huge financial losses, around 8 million rupees in seven months, and criticized officials for imposing restrictions without providing alternatives.

On a personal level, he revealed that his wife left theater after marriage and that he does not want his children to join the industry due to its challenges. He now works only with actresses already active in theater to protect new performers from harm.
