I had Rs 10,000 in my account when I got married: Ayushmann

March 14, 2014

AyushmannNew Delhi, Mar 14: Actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who is playing a bankrupt lover in rom-com 'Bewakoofiyaan', said the film took him to his earlier days when he had only Rs 10,000 as savings for marriage.

The 29-year-old 'Vicky Donor' star said he eventually overcame his financial troubles by finding fame in showbiz.

"I have not struggled much in my career as my character (Mohit Chadhdha) in the film does. I did face rejections but was never bogged down. I only relate to the finacial insecurity part of my character. I remember when I married Tahira, I only had Rs 10,000 in my account.

"But I don't relate to the joblessness. I rather feel I was always at the right place at the right time," Ayushmann said. The actor married his childhood sweetheart Tahira before entering Bollywood.'

Bewakoofiyaan', also starring Sonam Kapoor and veteran actor Rishi Kapoor in prominent roles, hit theatres today. The love-story is set in the backdrop of recession.

"I am not nervous but I have always been excited about my every release. I am getting good response because it's a quirky and edgy film. It's a young film. I think effects of recession are still there as people continue to get pink slips. There is a lot of unemployment in India due to the recession," Ayushmann said.

Asked if Tahira has watched the film yet, the 'Pani Da' hitmaker said, "She is in Chandigarh now. I am planning to fly down to Chandigarh by evening and we are going to watch it. But she has read the script."

Ayushmann, who has teamed up with Sonam for the first time in the film, said he was initially sceptical about the onscreen chemistry with the fashionista.

"Before starting the shoot, I was sceptical about our onscreen pairing. She is fashion conscious and I am boy-next-door. But after meeting her I realised that she is a nice girl who is pure at heart. This is how I feel our chemistry rocked onscreen," he said.

Ayushmann is currently shooting for his next Yash Raj Films venture 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' in Rishikesh and Haridwar. Directed by Maneesh Sharma, the story revoles around the life of a small town couple.

The actor also learnt Marathi for 'Bambai Fairytale', where he is playing eminent scientist Shivkar Bapuji Talpade.

Washington, May 18: Joining hands with the European Commission, actor Leonardo DiCaprio launched the Virunga Fund with seed money of USD 2 million to support Africa's Virunga National Park.

Since Virunga has lost a significant amount of revenue due to COVID shutdown post-March, the fund will be used to support the national park and the communities around, reported Variety.

The fund is aimed at disease prevention efforts, protection of mountain gorilla, and other species.

"I had the great honor of meeting and supporting Virunga's courageous team in their fight against illegal oil drilling in 2013," Variety quoted DiCaprio as saying.

"Virunga urgently needs funds to protect the endangered mountain gorilla population, to provide support to the rangers and the families of rangers who have fallen in the line of duty, and to help deliver essential disease prevention efforts. It's critical that we rally together during this time of incredible crisis," he added.

The 'Titanic' actor had earlier produced a Netflix documentary film 'Virunga' which is based on the national park.
