Aparshakti Khurana: Not Many People Know That I Am Ayushmann Khurrana's Brother
Aparshakti Khurana believes that many film-goers are still oblivious to one key fact of his life: that he is the brother of Bollywood star Ayushmann Khurrana.
Actor
Aparshakti
Khurana
believes
that
many
film-goers
are
still
oblivious
to
one
key
fact
of
his
life:
that
he
is
the
brother
of
Bollywood
star
Ayushmann
Khurrana.
The
31-year-old
actor,
who
started
his
career
as
a
radio
jockey
and
later
became
an
anchor
on
Indian
television,
made
a
successful
switch
to
films
with
2016
blockbuster
Dangal,
featuring
Aamir
Khan,
Fatima
Sana
Shaikh,
Zaira
Wasim
and
Sanya
Malhotra.
He
followed
up
with
films
like
Badrinath
Ki
Dulhania,
Stree
and
most
recently
Luka
Chuppi.
Unlike
his
big
brother
Ayushmann,
who
made
a
debut
as
a
lead
hero
with
Vicky
Donor
in
2012,
Aparshakti
has
mostly
played
supporting
parts
in
the
films,
but
he
is
fine
with
it.
"Whenever
I
meet
people,
they
call
me
Bittu
of
'Stree'
or
Omkar
of
'Dangal'.
And
I
believe
not
many
people
know
that
I'm
the
brother
of
Ayushmann.
When
they
do
get
to
know
that
we
are
brothers,
then
sometimes
they
are
shocked
and
sometimes
they
say
'Yeah,
you
sound
so
similar'
or
'you
look
similar'.''
"I
think
it
happens
also
because
we
both
share
different
space.
His
space
is
completely
different
than
mine.
I
have
had
a
different
journey
than
he
had," the
actor
told
PTI.
Aparshakti
says
that
his
career
trajectory
is
also
not
similar
to
other
Bollywood
star
kids
or
brothers,
who
have
almost
always
been
launched
as
a
lead.
"My
journey
is
different
from
other
star
brothers,
kids
or
sisters.
I
think
that
is
one
of
the
main
reasons
that
people
don't
question
me
on
this.
So
far,
the
media
and
the
audiences
have
not
really
roped
me
into
the
ambit
of
nepotism.
No
one
has
really
come
up
and
said
that
I
have
been
launched
by
someone.
I'm
still
playing
the
friend
of
a
film's
hero.
No
star
kid
has
ever
done
this
role
but
I
have
done
it
in
five
films."
The
actor
says
he
does
not
believe
in
planning
anything
and
he
just
goes
with
his
gut
when
it
comes
to
making
decisions.
"There
was
a
time
in
my
school
and
college
days
when
I
really
used
to
plan
and
they
never
shaped
up,
both
at
the
personal
and
professional
front.
And
I
think
whenever
you
plan
things
and
they
don't
happen,
then
you
feel
heartbroken.
I
have
stopped
planning
things.
I
have
stopped
planning
life,
be
it
personal
or
professional," he
says.
"I
don't
really
sit
down
and
think
like
'I'll
do
these
things
now.'
I
just
do
things
the
way
I
want
to
do
and
the
way
they
come
to
me," he
adds.
After
Luka
Chuppi,
the
actor
will
be
next
seen
in
Jabariya
Jodi,
Street
Dancer
and
Kanpuriye.
