Ayushmann Khurrana opens up about his first encounter with Shah Rukh Khan

• Ayushmann Khurrana was a radio presenter when he met Shah Rukh Khan for the first time.
• The An Action Hero actor recalls being spellbound by the superstar’s performance in My Name Is Khan.
• Since then, he has bought tickets for his film in black and watched each and every film of his.

Ayushmann Khurrana recounts his first encounter with Shah Rukh Khan and recalls being speechless.

Ayushmann said: “I was a radio jockey that time. I was a radio presenter. I had gone for a shoot of some radio bites but I couldn’t take because he was busy shooting for a car commercial in Hiranandani, Bombay. Those were my initial days in Bombay. So, I was just so mesmerised. I was just sitting there watching him shoot.”

“Unhone mujhe chai de di, pani de dia. And said, sorry he is very busy right now. I was like that’s alright. Even if he is busy, I would like to stay here only. Toh main wahi baitha raha sara din aur unko dekhta raha. So, that’s it.”

He continued by saying, “First interaction was when I was a TV anchor. So, he had visited a show to promote his film. I think it was My Name Is Khan. So, I was hosting and when he walked on the stage, I was so spellbound. I was reading a teleprompter and was asking the questions.”

“I was tongue-tied. But after that I met him inside Mannat, also. I have gone to his place and each and every time I see him, it’s just different. And it’s so surreal that I have bought tickets for his film in black and I have watched each and every film of his. I am fan boy.”

During the marketing of An Action Hero, Khurrana visited his Mannat home and uploaded a photo of himself outside the residence.
