Ayushmann Khurrana says that he finds the life of an artist ‘sexier’ than that of a superstar.
“It’s not that the failure of a film does not affect me, but I am not just an actor but an artiste and I think, the life of an artiste is much sexy and interesting than of superstar. I am writing, I am composing songs, doing musical concerts, I am acting in films… My mind is always in some creative process. So I do not let the failure affect me much,” Ayushmann told IANS.
Khurrana has always been lauded for his interesting and unique choice of films. “Well, that’s what I get more often… That’s why I have chosen that film. But the fact is choosing the script is always a risk-taking step. At times a film looks interesting on paper, but it doesn’t get translated on the screen because filmmaking is a collaborating effort.”

The actor says that he always had a desire to work on unusual subjects. “I always wanted to work on unusual subjects in my films, even as a newcomer. In the beginning, I refused to some formula films and Vicky Donor came to me because everyone refused to do the film. That film worked. Hopefully, my new films will also work. I am never sad nor am I a happy person. I am somewhere in between. And I am really a simple guy. I am acting in front of the camera anyway, so if I will act even off the camera, when will I live my life?”
The actor’s Shubh Mangal Saavdhaan, a remake of Tamil film – Kalyana Samayal Saadham, is expected to release in September. His Bareilly Ki Barfi released over the weekend to much acclaim.
