Ayushmann Khurrana: Nothing is safe in this industry; audience is alwa

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who has
featured in films on sperm donation and
erectile dysfunction, says being offbeat and
experimenting with new roles is always a
good idea as nothing is "safe" in the film
industry, and the audience is always looking
out for something new.
"It's good to be offbeat. Nothing is safe in
this industry, (so it is important) to give
something which is odd which
is something
off-centre, which is unique to the audience
this day because they are always looking for
something new," Ayushmann told IANS in an
email interview from Mumbai.
"I am glad that I'm getting scripts like
'Badhai Ho' and getting to work for Sriram
Raghavan who is a master of thrillers. You
need to create a niche for yourself and apne
talent se
'love jatao' (express love with your talent),
that's when you will shine in life.
"I ensure to keep working hard and
investing on my talent and that's something
everybody who aspires to make their dream
come true in life, must do," said the actor,
whose last two releases "Bareilly Ki Barfi"
and "Shubh Mangal Saavdhan" got a thumbs
up at the box office.
As an actor, Ayushmann had caught
attention with his debut film "Vicky Donor",
and he also impressed the audience with his
performance in "Dum Laga Ke Haisha".
Was there ever a situation when he felt like
giving up?
"You know I have been rejected a lot of
times in the auditions even on reality shows,
but then of course, I never thought of giving
up.
"The idea is to keep investing in your talent
to shine and succeed in life. Fortunately, this
is currently the best era of Indian film
industry or music industry because talent is
getting promoted in every walks of life.
"I guess I was well-prepared as I kept
working and investing on my talent as far as
my acting and singing was concerned," said
the actor, who is also a singer.
Ayushmann said his failures made him
stronger.
"I started as a video jockey in 2008, became
an actor in 2012 and in five years of being
in the industry, I have seen both highs and
lows. I think failure only makes you
stronger. Success is fickle, and failure is your
friend, philosopher and guide. It's a great
teach
," he said.
Ayushmann is currently a part of Parachute
Jasmine's Love Jatao, Shine Jagao'
campaign, which intends to make people
realise that when you invest in something
and show love to it, it shines.
"I completely and totally relate to the
campaign because it is like an opportunity
given to aspiring artists who have no
background in films and music and basically
it will create somebody who is self-made.
"I was an aspiring singer, an aspiring artist
once and what helped me to shine in my life
was when I truly started investing on my
talent," said the actor.
He also said his father gave him a much-
needed push.
"He is the one who discovered this
performer in me. He is the one just
converted or translated this introvert into a
people's person. So, I owe a lot to him and
he is the one who made me join Hindustani
classical vocals when I was just playing
regular cricket all the time.
"He was the one who channelized my
energies and I owe my shining moments of
life to him," said the actor.
