Needless to say, the newcomer could only smile, let alone his mother, who was thoroughly embarrassed.
But for the actor who made his transition from radio to television after which to the massive screen, fame has always been a continuing companion. CS catches up with Ayushmann for a chat:
John’s a buddy John is not only my producer, he's like an elder brother. He relates easily with me as he too was an intruder to the film industry, like me. Nine years back, Mahesh Bhatt did the similar thing for him with Jism, which John has now done for me.
He’s put his faith in me. He signed me for my next film, even without seeing the results of the primary. John has liked me since my television days and is happy with me.
Media magic
I have enjoyed every field of media that I’ve been part of. Once I did theatre in college, I used to actually benefit from the whole theatre scenario; drinking cups of endless chai and eating roadside samosas.
My buddies and that i formed two theatre groups during those days. We used to direct street plays or even compose music for them. I THINK I USED TO BE quite a successful theatre guy. Then I switched to radio and commenced with a morning show. I enjoyed that stint as well.
I used to feel that radio show hosts are anonymous stars. One day, I USED TO BE sitting in a coffee shop and there has been this bunch of children sitting next to me and talking about me. They didn’t even know I USED TO BE sitting next to them. Then I became a VJ and made myself popular by being Ayushmann.
I got a chance to satisfy the correct of people, interview a lot of stars and pick up numerous tips from them. I became a VJ in 2008 and after four years, made my debut in Bollywood. I USED TO BE able to be an actor then.
Happily married
Yes, I’m married. I’m just 27, so lots of people don’t believe that. Tahira’s my first and last girlfriend. We were seeing one another for 11 years before tying the knot. Legally, we’ve been married for around 11 months.
We had done journalism together. She’s a lecturer, has written a book and is writing another. As for terms like hot and sexy are concerned, I FEEL if somebody finds me hot, she or he will do irrespective of whether I’m married or not.
