Actor Ayushmann Khurrana’s journey from Chandigarh to Mumbai has been a remarkable one. 

In a new interview, the actor revealed that when he first moved to Mumbai years ago, he brought his cook from Chandigarh along with him just because of his love for food.

Before his big break in Bollywood,  Khurrana came to the limelight when he won the second season of the reality show Roadies while he was still in college. He then worked as a radio jockey before arriving in Mumbai for anchoring gigs on TV. In 2012, he made his Bollywood debut with Vicky Donor. The movie received rave reviews.  Since then his career trajectory has more or less been unusual. Be it as the insecure Prem in Dum Laga Ke Haisha or as Akash the blind pianist in Andhadhun (for which he won a National Film Award), he shines through in every role that he takes on. 

Recalling his journey, he said, “I was in Delhi for a couple of years as a radio jockey. First I stayed with my mausi (aunt) and then alone. Then, I came to Mumbai. Rajeshwari Sachdev Badola and Varun Badola supported me. I stayed at their place, then stayed with a friend and in a hostel.”

The actor added that when he did move to Mumbai, he actually brought his cook along. “I came to Mumbai with a cook. We had one room which we shared. I brought my cook with me because I can’t live without food. He didn’t have any place to stay so I was like you stay in my room but I need a cook. So I shared a room with my cook,” he said.
