Ayushmann Khurrana: I've become numb to both success and failure (see pics)

Mumbai, Ayushmann Khurrana plays a scientist in Vibhu Puri's "Hawaaizaada", a near-illiterate in "Dum Lagake Haisha" and also doing Shoojit Sircar's football film. The actor, who chooses his projects carefully, is not unnerved by failures



Q: When your wife reads this she'll have a lot to say?

A: Arrey nahin nahin, she is aware of all this.

Q: You're also doing Shoojit Sircar's football film?

A: Yes that will probably start in January 2015. I also have a three-film deal with Yash Raj. So I have one more film with them to do.

Q: You are being picky?

A: Every actor has to be picky. When I decided to do "Dum Lagake Haisha", my producer Aditya Chopra was very surprised. He never expected me to pick a role of a simpleton. Every actor wants to be projected as a star. But I loved my role. I love the character.Adi is very proud of me.

Q: How close are you to Aditya Chopra?

A: I always like to be at the periphery. I can never be the insider. Having said that I must say my first mentor is Shoojit Sircar and Yash Raj has adopted me. It's every actor's wishlist to be part of Yash Raj. I've grown up watching their films. So now I am very proud to have done two diametrically opposed film for Yash Raj, first "Bewakoofiyaan" now "Dum Lagake Haisha".
