Ayushmann Khurrana, the Bollywood sensation, has had a remarkable journey from his Roadies days to becoming a successful actor. However, his path to stardom was not without its hurdles. In his 2015 book, “Cracking The Code: My Journey In Bollywood,” Khurrana reveals an incident involving Karan Johar’s office that left him disheartened.

Rejection from Karan Johar’s Office

Khurrana recalls how, in his early days, he mustered the courage to approach Karan Johar for an opportunity. When he met Johar, he was given the landline number to his office. Excited and hopeful, Khurrana planned the perfect time to make the call. However, to his disappointment, the office informed him that Johar wasn’t available, leaving him hanging.

The Blunt Truth

Persisting in his efforts, Khurrana called again, only to be met with the same response. Eventually, the office conveyed a harsh truth – they only worked with stars and were not interested in collaborating with him at that time.

Reality Check

This rejection served as a reality check for Ayushmann Khurrana, making him realize the challenges he had to overcome in the industry. Undeterred, he continued his journey, and fate had something extraordinary in store for him.

Rising Success and a Koffee With Karan Appearance

Khurrana’s talent and hard work eventually caught the attention of Karan Johar, and in 2018, he was invited to the esteemed talk show “Koffee With Karan.” On the show, Khurrana fearlessly confronted Johar and Dharma Productions for their past dismissal. In response, Johar playfully remarked that he must have seen Khurrana’s potential all along.

Andhadhun’s Success

Proving his mettle, Ayushmann Khurrana went on to deliver exceptional performances, especially in the critically acclaimed film “Andhadhun,” starring alongside Radhika Apte and Tabu.

Ayushmann Khurrana’s journey in Bollywood has been a testament to his dedication and perseverance. Despite facing initial rejection, he emerged as one of the industry’s most versatile actors, debunking the notion that only stars can shine in the spotlight.
