Mind Rocks 2017: Ayushmann Khurrana on being an outsider, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan and unconventional roles

Ayushmann Khurrana is one of the most unconventional Bollywood actors of recent times. From Vicky Donor to Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, the 33-year-old actor has chosen some of the most unique stories for his films. And that's what makes him different from the rest.

Despite being an outsider, the actor has made his way in the Hindi industry which is often accused of nepotism.

At Mind Rocks 2017, Ayushmann spoke at length about acting, nepotism, unconventional roles and body-shaming.

The actor who has no godfather in Bollywood said, "Nepotism exists everywhere, not just our industry. Eventually, only talent survives. All the star kids who are doing well, they are doing well only because they are talented. Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, all of them are talented. Not because of their tag."
