Singer-Actor Ayushmann Khurrana has done all content-driven films in his career till now and he is proud of the fact that he gets a chance to be a part of them.
Talking about whether his children watch his films, he said, “They don’t watch my films, and I do that to keep them away from the limelight. I feel that my kids should have a regular childhood, without being labelled star kids. They should be given regular treatment and shouldn’t be made to feel special… because they haven’t achieved anything. I want them to have their own path and achieve their own goals and get what they truly deserve.”
Ayushmann added, “I won’t do any film that would make my kids cringe; neither would I support the kind of cinema that’d make them uncomfortable at any point. [Also] I come from a background where I’ve discussed everything with my parents since my teens. So, I come from a fairly progressive mindset and background. I feel that my kids would also be so — they’d love to see my films and be proud of them.”
Talking about his recent release, “Bareilly Ki Barfi did pretty well, and Bhumi’s last release, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, also did great business. So, I’m glad that coincidentally, two films starring each of us have done well, and that has reflected in the success of Shubh Mangal Saavdhan. The fact that the Censor Board passed the film without even a single cut was an added advantage,” Ayushmann said.
“If you see, most of my films [in the past] have been sleeper hits, where the expectations were not that high but the films did well. In case of Shubh Mangal... the buzz was already amazing, and this was the first time that expectations were high from my film, so it’s a very new thing for me and hence the pressure, too,” he also said.
