Aparshakti Khurana: Never felt like proving a point to anyone

Aparshakti Khurana says he is grateful, not ‘bitter’, about playing supporting roles in the past as he lands his big break in Jubilee

His character goes from being a lab assistant to a star

The spotlight is perhaps the best vantage point from where one can look back at how far s/he has come. Aparshakti Khurana would agree. Over the weekend, the actor became the toast of the town for his internalised performance in Jubilee. Set in the Hindi film industry of the late ’40s and early ’50s, Vikramaditya Motwane’s series sees Khurana play Binod Das, a sincere lab assistant who goes on to become a movie star. 

The actor says he identified with Das’s graph as he too had humble beginnings. “I joined a music channel as a stylist, and worked there as one till I got the job as an anchor. In that office, never before had a stylist become an anchor. When I used to style the show’s hosts, who may or may not have been talented, clean their shoes, or tie their shoelaces, I approached it with the same sincerity as I did anchoring,” he recounts.
