In this issue

Ayushmann Khurrana returns on our cover – deservedly so. He’s an ‘outsider’ in Bollywood, having done the hard yards as a radio and video jockey before getting his big acting break in Vicky Donor, and in the age of the nepotism debate, his stand-on-my-own-feet story is endearing. This wouldn’t have mattered if he hadn’t actually been any good, however – and here too, he scores big. In every film he’s acted in, it has been clear that he’s to the manner born – he’s a gifted, charming performer who effortlessly gets into the skin of the characters he’s playing. He’s been on a 2-year roll, with films like Bareilly Ki Barfi, Shubh Mangal Savdhan, Andhadhun and Badhaai Ho wowing audiences, critics and the box office alike.
A fascinating story in this issue is our piece on the gay-for-pay men in Mumbai – straight guys who are willing to sleep with men for the right price. These are almost always young men who have come to the city with dreams of making it big in the film and fashion worlds, only to find that the chasm between reality and dreams is rather large. This issue is also our annual automotive special and, as always, the section is packed with a variety of stories. Enjoy the issue.

The Dependable Mr. Khurrana

After a career resurrection of sorts in 2017, Ayushmann Khurrana knocked it out of the park last year, delivering two smashing performances (Andhadhun, Badhaai Ho) in films that won over critics and the box office. From the ‘common man’ representative to becoming one of the poster boys of quality — and commercially viable — cinema, Khurrana has proved that he has enough acting muscle to shoulder solo projects. This year, he has a number of releases, making him possibly the busiest actor in the industry. He’s bringing in the new age of Bollywood — intelligent, socially conscious and dedicated to the medium.

The Making Of Virat Kohli

At the age of 30, Virat Kohli is already one of the all-time great batsmen, terrorising bowlers and shattering batting records in every format of the game, in every corner of the cricketing world. Every behemoth started somewhere, though, and for Kohli, his beginnings were in the rough-and-tumble of Delhi’s age-grade and domestic cricket circuits. Even as a 10-year old at his first cricket coaching camp, his special talent was recognised by coaches and experienced players alike. In this excerpt from their book Virat: The Making Of A Champion, journalists Neeraj Jha and Vidhanshu Kumar illustrate the young Kohli’s immense potential.

The Men Who Are Gay For Pay

Young male models and struggling actors — who are straight — are willing to go ‘gay-for-pay’ on various LGBT dating and hookup apps in the country. While prostitution has always been a hush-hush affair on these apps, for the last two years, it has become a rather prominent feature. This might be because of a dearth of paid gigs and sky-high living costs in big cities, but is it also a marker for a paradigm shift in sexuality and sexual behaviour?
