Aparshakti Khurana

“I speak Hindi with a Punjabi accent, not a Haryanvi accent.”

“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.”

“The only thing I have tried to do is be a part of different films and bring out a different side of me as an actor every time I play a character. I would like to be known as a versatile actor.”

“Failure and rejection are important. Otherwise, you won't value success.”

“In 2009, it was the right time to start working in the radio industry.”

“Whenever you try to preach something, people will not accept or invite it into their lives. But if it is said in a light way, people understand it better, and it is as true for films as it is for life.”

“My areas of expertise are acting, comedy, radio jockeying.”

“I don't want to play the lead and look like a hero. I am open to do character roles; what is the harm in it?”

“I come from a theatre group called Drama Tech in Delhi. When its founder Mr. Chopra called me and appreciated my work, that was also satisfying because he gave me my first play.”

“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.”

“There are a lot of people who approached me after 'Dangal' and 'Stree' to do films in lead roles with great money. But I don't want to rush into it. I want you to call me with a happy face that the film is rocking... And that will only happen if I make wise and patient decisions.”

“Films are never meant as solutions; they just provide entertainment value.”

“I know chances like 'Dangal' are rare. It's something that will be difficult to live down. But it's something I'll cherish for a lifetime.”

“Whenever you try to say something in a sincere way, it gets communicated no matter what the genre.”

“My modus operandi is to become a better actor.”

“Getting home-made food cooked by mom is a blessing. I feel I inherit my creativity through the food she cooks for me.”

“Once I failed in cricket, I joined a law course, but when it also did not work out, it was another setback. When you get back-to-back failures, you automatically start to work harder in life.”

“The best thing about working with Tahira bhabhi is her positivity and clarity about what she wants from you as an artist, an actor, and even as a brother-in-law. I think she is very clear about life, and that's what I love about her.”

“I would call myself a radio performer who has just jumped in front of the camera and is very happy.”

“In acting, one should look at the film in totality. Improvisations should only be made keeping in mind the limits of a character. Always believe in team work.”
