Excerpts:
On playing a rural character after a successful stint as an urban guy
I am a sucker for good scripts. I loved the entire theme and set up of the show Operation MBBS. To be honest I was very nervous and scared as people have always seen me in an urban role, this time I am essaying a role of a village guy from UP and I am glad people have come forward and appreciated it. Every time an episode release people message me it relatable.
On his journey from an actor to influencer?
Well, I was an actor much before I became an influencer, you tend to become popular when you have a good social media reach, people see you more on YouTube. I am blessed that I am getting the best of both worlds. I can say am an actor cum influencer.
On giving 1500 auditions and more
I am acting for the last 5 and half years and have given more than 1500 auditions to date. It's not that I get a role on the spot I had to audition for operation MBBS too. The best thing about auditions is you feel you have earned the role.
He is always seen essaying the role of a chocolate goody-good boyfriend in all his videos. When asked Ayush if he is similar to his reel life personality.
Is he a romantic boyfriend in real life?
In real life, I am not romantic at all. I am happy that I get so much love for your roles that I play, and I am humbled that girls find me an ideal boyfriend. I think my girlfriend should watch all my videos.
After pouring his heart out he confessed some of the things he did during his college years
Honest confession
The reason I didn't want to become a doctor after the second standard was, once a doctor had poked an injection and since then I was very scared so I decided to never get into the medical profession. I never took science as a subject in college as I thought there will be a lot to study, while Arts was too much of reading so I thought, Beech ka kuch lete hai so I opted for commerce.
On web shows, he loves to binge
I love drama oriented, serious and dark stuff. Romance is not my zone; very rarely do I watch. I want to do the role of a psychopath. I recently watched Breaking Bad, Money Heist. I am a huge fan of Game of Thrones.
Fan moment
It was a very endearing moment. A fan came to me and she started crying as she waited to get a glimpse of me for long, seeing her I started crying. It was a very emotional moment.
On taking up shows on other platforms
I aim to be part of big houses and do get offers from OTT but at the moment I am happy with the kind of work I am doing but want to do more.
Announces new project
I will soon start shooting for a new web show 'Please find attached' with Barkha Singh.
