Ayushmann Khurrana has had a long journey to where he is now. One of the most bankable actors of his generation, his big break came after a series of struggles. In an interview, Ayushmann revealed that when he first moved to Mumbai years ago, he brought his cook from Chandigarh along with him just because of his love for food.
Ayushmann gained prominence when he won the second season of the reality show ‘Roadies’ while he was still in college. He then worked as a radio jockey before arriving in Mumbai for anchoring gigs on TV. It was only eight years after winning the MTV show, that he made his film debut with ‘Vicky Donor’. Ayushmann recalled his journey on YouTube channel Curly Tales. He said, “I was in Delhi for a couple of years as a radio jockey. First I stayed with my mausi and then alone. Then, I came to Mumbai. Rajeshwari Sachdev Badola and Varun Badola supported me. I stayed at their place, then stayed with a friend and in a hostel.”
He then revealed that when he did move to Mumbai, he actually brought his cook along. Ayushmann said, “I came to Mumbai with a cook. We had one room which we shared. I brought my cook with me because I can’t live without food. He didn’t have any place to stay so I was like you stay in my room but I need a cook. So I shared a room with my cook.”
On the work front, the actor was last seen in ‘Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui’ opposite Vaani Kapoor. He will be next seen in Anubhav Sinha’s ‘Anek’, where he plays an undercover cop. The movie releases on May 27. He also has Anubhuti Kashyap’s ‘Doctor G’ lined up for release later this year, opposite Rakul Preet Singh.
