Actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who is a Bollywood hit machine today, has recalled the time when he was asked to compromise for a role in the early days of his career.
“A casting director had told me, ‘I’ll give you the lead role if you showed me your tool.’ I told him I’m straight and I politely refused his offer,” Ayushmann told Pinkvilla while recalling his casting couch experience.
After a stint on the small screen, Ayushmann made his film debut in 2012 with Vicky Donor. He instantly won hearts with his charm and witty screen presence. Vicky Donor made Ayushmann a household name, as the multiplex hero with guy-next-door charm.
For an actor who started out being identified as master of offbeat roles and a poster boy of unconventional films, he has now garnered a sizeable fan base to emerge as one of Bollywood’s most bankable star who can also be counted to surprise every time with his acting skills. (IANS)
