Ayush Mehra is most prominently recognised for his charming presence in the Filter Copy video sketches. His journey in the entertainment industry began with a series of roles in various advertisements, and he also gained valuable experience as an assistant director on several film projects, notably the 2019 military action blockbuster Uri: The Surgical Strike. What sets Ayush apart is that despite his lack of a traditional acting background, he made his debut as an actor in the 2022 sports film Kacchey Limbu. He played the role of a lively and charming lad named Kabir alongside Radhika Madan and Rajat Barmecha. Kacchey Limbu is a heartwarming story about two siblings who compete against each other for a gully cricket tournament. Ayush says that his character Kabir is someone who has a lot of dreams, is honest and innocent, is also an ace cricket player, and also has a crush on Radhika’s character. “I was given a cricketer, like AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli, in terms of who I have to look up to. My shots had to look like my character knew what he was doing. Because he is the best player on Team Kacchey Limbu. So, I had to physically work a lot on that.”
