Ayushmann Khurrana says wife Tahira made him a ‘feminist’ after his patriarchal upbringing: ‘I have become a certain person…’
In a recent interview, Ayushmann shared how his newfound success after his debut film, Vicky Donor made his personal life and relationship take a backseat. Here's what he said.
Ayushmann Khurrana and his wife, Tahira Kashyap, are one of the most lovely couples in Bollywood. Their journey from being a teenage couple to having a successful marriage all these years has been inspiring for many. Recently, the actor shared how his wife has kept him grounded and made him a feminist, making other women find him attractive.
Speaking on the Honestly Saying Podcast, Khurrana reflected on how his rise to popularity, particularly after his breakthrough debut film 'Vicky Donor,' initially affected his personal life. He said, "Coming from a middle-class background when you become a public figure, you just think you need to give your 100% to your profession. Your personal life takes a backseat," highlighting the need to maintain a good balance.
He explained that his relationship with then-girlfriend Tahira Kashyap took a backseat. Although they had been dating since their teenage years in Chandigarh, their relationship had a fair share of ups and downs before their 'happily ever after.'
Ayushmann also credits Kashyap for his personal growth, particularly his journey from growing up in a patriarchal environment to becoming a feminist. He said, "The most important decision of your life is choosing your partner. The right partner can take you to heights," emphasizing how his wife has played a significant role in his success.
He revealed they previously worked together in the theatre, where Kashyap wrote plays and Khurrana acted in them. He credits Tahira for being the reason women find him attractive. Khurrana explained, "Now if women are attracted to me, it is because of my wife. I have become a certain person because of her."
In another interview with Mashable Mehfil, Khurrana revealed he had a brief separation with Kashyap during their early days. "I was the most popular guy in Chandigarh then, and I broke up with Tahira saying, 'I want to live my life,'" he shared. However, within six months, he realized his mistakes and came back to her.
On the work front, Ayushmann was last seen in Raaj Shaandilyaa's Dream Girl 2, co-starring Ananya Panday. He will be next shooting for an untitled film with Sara Ali Khan and also has Dinesh Vijan's Thama with Rashmika Mandanna in pipeline.
