The public anger over Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely demise refuses to die down. The reason for 34-year-old’s death is cited as big production houses for sabotaging Sushant’s career; largely with Karan Johar who maintains big camp of Bollywood is being blamed. Netizens have been digging out old videos and quotes as an evidence how Karan Johar and others have bred nepotism.
Now, an excerpt from Ayushmann Khurrana’s 2015 book ‘Cracking the Code: My Journey in Bollywood’ is now viral. The quote reveals how Ayushmann who once interviewed Karan as an RJ expressed his desire to be an actor. He then revealed he requeted his phone number, whee Kaan gave their office’s landline number. Explaining further, the actor wrote, “I was extremely excited and thought to myself, ‘Ab toh life set hai. Ab mujhe koi rok nahi sakta! Ab toh introducing Ayushmann Khurrana hai by Dharma Productions!’ The next day I dialed the number Haran had given me. They said Karan wasn’t in office. The day after that I called again. They said he was busy. And finally, my bubble burst when, the subsequent day, they told me bluntly ‘We only work with stars, and can’t work with you,” Ayushmann Khurrana wrote in his book.
Take a look at the tweet which quotes Ayushmann’s book:
