BEING DIFFERENT, BEING UNIQUE! Ayushmann Khunnana

Having completed 10 years in the industry, Ayushmann Khurrana has managed to become a brand of his own. He has done what no other actor would have ever dared to. Beginning with Vicky Donor, where he plays a sperm donor to playing a gay character in Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan to highlighting transgender sensitivity in Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, every movie he has done so far has been a unique social entertainer, while also being the biggest conversational starter in the country.

In conversation with Sinduri Vuppala, he talks about his decade-long journey, his choice of films and how it's the small pleasures that give him the biggest high...

You have completed a little over a decade in the film industry and how, from being a VJ, television host to debuting in the industry with Vicky Donor to continuing to enthrall audiences with movies like Doctor G, tell us how you look back at your journey...

Yeah, the journey has been great, from Vicky Donor to movies like Doctor G and An Action Hero, and it has been very fruitful. The universe has been really kind and has given me what I had aspired for, maybe more, much more than that. And it's something which I'm really cherishing and the journey is still going on.

There's no destination as such and the process that entices me more in the journey is the process of filming of you know, looking out for novel, unique scripts, and meeting new directors, working with different humans, and living life. It's the sum total of everything.

In an industry where fates change every Friday, you have managed to slay it in the industry with your choice of unique content. You have not only carved a niche for yourself and created a brand for yourself. Just your name is enough to take audiences to the theaters, nobody cares to know much about the rest. How do you pick and choose your cinemas?
