INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Ayushmann Khurrana, a versatile talent in the Indian film industry, hails from a family rich in diverse heritage. His mother, with half-Burmese roots, and his father, P. Khurrana, a renowned astrologer and numerologist, had aspirations for their son to follow in the footsteps of acting. Interestingly, it was his grandmother who played a significant role in nurturing his early interest in acting, often mimicking the legendary Raj Kapoor and Dilip Kumar, which left a lasting impression on the young Ayushmann. Despite his family’s support, his journey was fraught with challenges. When he opened up to friends and family about his dream of becoming an actor, he faced ridicule instead of encouragement. This skepticism was compounded by early auditions where he was dismissed for reasons such as his Punjabi accent and prominent eyebrows, which seemed to serve as barriers rather than stepping stones to his aspirations.

The timeline of Khurrana’s life took a pivotal turn when he was just 16 years old. It was during this period that he met Tahira Kashyap, who would later become his wife. In a bold declaration, he expressed his desire to marry her, showcasing the confident and determined spirit that would later define his career. However, his path to success wasn’t without its dark moments. In 2013, a tragic incident occurred when a servant at his Goregaon apartment committed suicide. While the incident cast a shadow, it is important to note that Ayushmann was not implicated in any wrongdoing.

Ayushmann’s multifaceted talents extend beyond acting. He has a passion for music that led him to participate in the reality show “Channel [V] Popstars” in 2002. This venture laid the groundwork for his later success when he emerged victorious in MTV Roadies (Season 2) in 2004, at the tender age of 20. His journey was not just confined to reality TV; while pursuing a degree in journalism, he took a pivotal step by submitting his acting portfolio, which serendipitously opened doors for him as a radio jockey (RJ) and later as a video jockey (VJ) on MTV. His early television roles in series like “Kayamat” and “Ek Thi Rajkumari” were just the precursors to the breakthrough he achieved in Bollywood.

After years of perseverance in the industry, his fortunes changed in 2012 when he made a significant impact with “Vicky Donor,” a film that not only became a surprise hit but also earned him critical acclaim and several National Awards. This film marked his long-awaited debut in singing with the beloved track “Pani Da Rang.” Interestingly, during his initial foray into television, he made the unconventional choice to donate sperm, reflecting his open-minded and progressive approach to life. As an artist, he also channels his creativity through writing, producing Hindi poetry and maintaining an active blog. In 2015, he shared his journey in his autobiographical book “Cracking the Code – My Journey To Bollywood,” offering insights into his struggles and the path to his eventual success.

Khurrana has continued to impress audiences with his performances, notably in “Gulabo Sitabo” (2020), where he starred alongside the legendary Amitabh Bachchan. Following the film’s release, musician Palash Sen reminisced about Ayushmann’s earlier stint on “Popstars,” where he had initially been rejected, showcasing the ironic twist of fate that has defined Khurrana’s career. Through his resilience and talent, Ayushmann Khurrana has not only carved a niche for himself in Bollywood but has also become a source of inspiration for aspiring artists everywhere.
