Ayushmann Khurrana is the first guest on this season of Neha Dhupia’s show #NoFilterNeha and we absolutely loved the first episode. The Andhadhun actor reveals some of cute secrets from the past and we cannot get enough of it!
Here are some of our favorite moments :
The Aunty Magnet?!
When asked about his childhood and girls, Ayushmann says:
“Since childhood I’ve been like an aunty magnet. I was in an all boys school, all boys college... toh I had minimal interaction with the opposite sex. Aunties, they loved me, for all the good reasons. I don’t know. I found older women hot.”Ayushmann Khurrana
Would this actor be romancing any older woman on screen any time soon? Only time will tell!
He Hates, Absolutely Hates Sharing Food!
Well some of us can relate and agree! He says:
“Normally, the health doctors say that you should have 5 small meals a day, I have 5 big meals a day! I don’t believe in sharing also. Thoda khana aaya hai toh ek insaan ko khane do na yaar, why do you need to share food? I can’t share.”Ayushmann Khurrana
He Also Hates Shaving
It seems like it is always #NoShaveNovember for the Badhai Ho actor as he says,
“I only hate shaving my beard, by the way. I just feel naked when I shave…I don’t feel confident in front of the camera. Of course, there’s also a reason, because I have bushy eyebrows because poori nazar eyebrows pe jaati hai phir!”
He Is Obsessed With Dental Hygiene
Well he does have the perfect set of teeth, so we are glad. He reveals that he grew up with braces and so is accustomed to keeping his teeth as clean as possible! He says:
“I had braces when I was in 10th standard and when you have braces, lot of food gets stuck in your braces. So that’s a problem. So I got this habit when I had braces, braces hote hue main hamesha meal ke baad brush karta tha.”
Ayushmann’s Wife Is Jealous?
Ayushmann reveals some secrets about his wife, Tahira Kashyap as he talks about the beginning of his career in Bollywood. He says:
“I remember my first film, Vicky Donor, and we were holding hands while she was watching the film. Jab kissing scene aaya, she just left my hand. It lasted for a good 2-3 years…in every film there was a kiss! The uneasiness lasted for a good three years. I used to tell directors, kissing scene kaat do, ghar pe problem ho rahi hai.”
He Was Cast in ‘Manmarziyaan’ !
Did you know that Ayushmann was cast in Manmarziyaan before Vicky Kaushal? When asked about why he did not complete the film, he responded:
“ I think the director and the producer were not on the same page at that time and we shot for 10 days. Later on, I got busy with other films, Bhumi became busy with other films and the cast was changed.”
Ayushmann’s First Real Film
Ayushmann talks about his career before Vicky Donor and how being an actor was always an aspiration.
“My first film was supposed to be KLPD, woh jo kabhi shoot hi nahi hui. I had just joined MTV that time, I was what 24-25 and I just wanted to do films. Always used to tell my boss – I “act” like an anchor, I am an actor inside. Toh he was like koi bhi movie aaye thodi kar lega, KLPD kya hota hai? Of course KLPD ka matlab kuch aur hota hai but this was Kisses, Love, Dosti, Pizza something like that.”
Vicky Donor Before Vicky Donor?
Ayushman recalls a time in Roadies wherein he had to complete a task. He says,
“ I remember Rannvijay entered our room saying ok Roadies, aapka agla task yeh hai ki aapko sperm donate karna hai aur ladkiyon ko unka support karna padega. So we went to this hospital in Allahabad and I entered this room. Uss room ke andar Hum Do Humare Do type ke posters lage hue the. And they had given me this box. Vicky Donor wala scene hua , in 2004. So I donated my sperm and my sample was selected, I was top 3 out of 6 guys.”
His Dream Cast
Ayushmann has a background in theatre and also wrote and directed several plays! When asked about directing a film, he said:
“If I’m a director, I would love to cast Ranbir, Rajkumar, Alia and Deepika together.”
