Ayushman Khurana Regrets On Not Being A Star Son

We’ve seen him as hosting reality shows on television. Now, you will see this veejay-turned-actor Ayushman Khurana making his debut in this week’s release Vicky Donor. Directed by Shoojit Sircar, the film is produced by John Abraham. The actor will be seen playing a sperm donor in the film.

Ayushman spoke to Sonil Dedhia about his big screen debut, his journey from television to films and much more.

As a VJ, you have done a lot of interviews with celebrities. How does it feel to be on the other side?

I think it is very awkward. I feel really uncomfortable (Smiles). I am trying to get used to this. I think it is easy to ask questions and difficult to answer.

Was being an actor always on the cards?

Of course, I always wanted to be an actor. Since childhood I have been active in theatre, music, and other co-curricular activities. I was the co-curricular caption of my school, St John’s High School, in Chandigarh.

Even in college I was very active in theatre and I formed two theatre groups, Aghaaz and Manchtantra. I went on to do courses in journalism, radio and theatre simultaneously.

In the meanwhile, Roadies happened to me when I was in college. Generally, reality contestants want to shift base to Mumbai and try their luck in television.

I didn’t do that because I wasn’t prepared for it. I went back and completed my education and after a while came back to become a VJ. Source
