Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna's film 'Chhaava' is making headlines, having surpassed Rs 200 crore at the box office by its seventh day. The film and its stars have received widespread acclaim, particularly from Maharashtra. In response to the overwhelming love from audiences, Vicky's house help performed a traditional nazar utraai ritual to ward off the evil eye. On Friday, Vicky shared a heartwarming video of the ritual on his Instagram.

In the video, Asha Tai, his longtime helper, is seen performing the ritual while Vicky stands at the apartment entrance, smiling as she instructs him to turn around. Afterward, he folded his hands and asked if he could enter. In his caption, Vicky expressed gratitude for Asha Tai, stating, “She has seen me grow… in height and in life. Yesterday she saw 'Chhaava' and insisted, ‘उभे रहा, नज़र उतराएची आहे तुमची’ (Stand there, let me do the nazar utraai ritual for you). This has always been her way of showing love and protecting me from an abundance of it. So happy to have her in my life! ”
