Aparshakti Khurana on comparisons with brother Ayushmann Khurrana

Aparshakti Khurana, who made his acting debut by essaying a brief role in Aamir Khan’s all-time blockbuster Dangal (2016), has proved his acting mettle in a couple of successful films over the past four years.

In his recent interview, Khurana said that he is yet to read any article comparing him and his superstar brother Ayushmann Khurrana. “I am yet to read any article comparing me and Ayushmann. Moreover, I think I am yet to become an equal to Ayushmann. Comparisons can only be done between equals. I am yet to reach there. Had I felt the pressure of being Ayushmann’s brother, I would not have taken up my first film,” said Aparshakti.


The actor went on to add that he does fear failures. “It is very rare that people get such back to back hits. I cannot take the entire credit for this. It is all very situational. Of course, I do fear failures. They are not visible a lot of times, but we meet failures often. If I have to talk about one film which failed, it is Jabariya Jodi (2019). It is important for us to know where we have failed and where we have not,” he added.

Aparshakti Khurana will next be seen in the upcoming Bollywood film Helmet which features him in the lead role for the first time. Also starring Pranutan Bahl, the movie has been majorly shot in Benaras.

After Helmet, Khurana plays an important role in Taapsee Pannu’s much-awaited film Rashami Rocket. The actor is also reading a couple of scripts currently. He will sign a few of them once the lockdown period is over.
