Everyone is a fan of Vicky Donor actor, Ayushmann Khurrana. The one who has taken “parallel” or non-mainstream cinema to different heights. His films like Badhaai Ho, Dream Girl, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan and many more hits has brought out the so-called taboo topics out to the world, therefore normalizing it among the society.
In the Bollywood Hungama Actors 2022 presented by Astroyogi, when Ayushmann Khurrana was asked about what keeps him going when it comes to acting, Ayushmann said, “I am happiest on the sets. I might be super grumpy, lazy at my home or maybe when am with my family. However, when I am at the sets, I am full of energy with a little adrenaline rush in me.
Opening up about his journey of changing careers, he said, “I always wanted to be an actor. I wouldn’t say that this was the only thing I wanted to do as I have dabbled a lot of professions. I started as a journalist, then a radio jockey, followed by television presenter, and have also maintained a blog. I had my plan A, B, C, D laid out as I am very practical in that sense. This gives me utmost happiness.
While expressing his views on how an actor is built, he shared, “For me, it is very important to live life and not live in a bubble. I believe, to be an actor, one needs to experience more so that those experience can be reflected on your work. I like living life from the basic level, to get connected with the people, to meet new people and to travel”.
Further when asked whether he always had the same views or it had changed with time, he answered, “It had always been the same with me. When we used to do street theatres, we had to travel length and breadth of the country by second class sleeper trains where we used to meet different people from different states, due to which I had varied experience in my teens which led to plenty of fodder for creativity.
