Over
the
years,
Bollywood
actor
Ayushmann
Khurrana
has
established
himself
as
a
powerhouse
performer,
capable
of
portraying
an
incredible
spectrum
of
roles
on
the
silver
screen.
In
the
span
of
just
a
decade,
he
has
shone
brightly
in
films
such
as
Vicky
Donor,
Andhadhun,
Dream
Girl,
Badhaai
Ho
and
Bala,
making
him
an
iconic
actor
and
one
of
Bollywood's
most
bankable
stars.
However,
his
journey
towards
stardom
had
its
dark
moments,
including
an
extremely
shocking
encounter
with
the
notorious
casting
couch.
Ayushmann
Khurrana's
Casting
Couch
Experience
The
journey
of
the
Delhi-born
RJ
turned
superstar
has
been
paved
with
more
than
just
hard
work
and
talent.
Like
many
others,
he
too
fell
prey
to
the
dark
side
of
showbiz,
a
casting
couch
experience
that
left
him
shocked
and
disgusted.
In
an
interview
with
Pinkvilla,
Ayushmann
had
opened
up
about
a
casting
director
who
made
him
an
unsavoury
proposition.
'I'll
give
you
the
lead
role
if
you
show
me
your
tool," the
Chandigarh
Kare
Aashiqui
said
as
he
revealed
what
the
casting
director
told
him.
Ayushmann
had
revealed
that
he
rejected
the
proposal
outright.
The
Road
to
Stardom
Despite
the
dark
experiences
and
countless
rejections,
including
a
dismissal
from
Karan
Johar's
Dharma
Productions,
Ayushmann
refused
to
let
anything
dampen
his
ambition.
Resilient
and
determined,
he
rejected
nearly
half
a
dozen
films
before
settling
for
Shoojit
Sircar's
Vicky
Donor,
a
movie
that
perfectly
showcased
his
capability
as
a
leading
man.
Fans
are
eagerly
awaiting
Ayushmann's
next
film
after
Dream
Girl
2.
The
second
installment
of
Dream
Girl
has
collected
over
Rs
110
crore
worldwide.
The
movie,
which
also
stars
Ananya
Panday,
Paresh
Rawal,
Vijay
Raaz
and
Annu
Kapoor,
has
performed
well
at
the
box
office.
In
spite
of
the
trials
and
tribulations
faced
by
Ayushmann
Khurrana,
his
dogged
perseverance
and
unwavering
commitment
to
his
craft
have
enabled
him
to
be
one
of
the
most
beloved
and
successful
actors
in
Bollywood
today.
His
story
serves
as
an
inspiration
to
countless
aspirants
who
dream
of
making
it
big
in
the
glamorous
yet
grueling
world
of
cinema.
