Tahira Kashyap had a very brutal reaction to Ayushmann Khurrana’s desire to become an actor.

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana may be one of the most talented and sought after actors in Bollywood right now but even he had trouble finding people who believed in his talent. He could not depend even on his wife! In an interview with Film Companion’s Anupama Chopra, filmmaker Tahira Kashyap has revealed what was her honest and very brutal reaction when Ayushmann told her for the first time that he wants to be an actor.

Ayushmann Khurrana’s wife Tahira Kashyap wasn’t so sure about his decision to become an actor.

“This man, my husband told me he wants to be an actor and I literally scoffed you know. I ridiculed him like “Ae shakal dekhi hai? (Have you seen your face?) So I did not believe in him. I was very brutal and I wasn’t even shocked, I laughed. And that’s the worst reaction to give to anybody that you are laughing at the person’s face,” she said.

 

She, however, said that she was amazed by his confidence. “Perhaps in retrospect I feel that wow, this man has the guts to say it. This is what he wants to do and probably that was my way of hiding my own aspirations (to become a director),” she added. Tahira talked about how she had a very tough time to own her dreams and even say it out loud that she wants to be a film director before she pursued it full time.
