Ayushmann Khurrana has had a successful innings as a host, actor, singer, and now as a columnist. And though he is active in most of these, hosting has taken a backseat. It’s something the actor wants to get back to, but at at later  stage in his career.

How it all began

While Ayushmann is usually remembered for his Roadies stint, he began is career as a radio jockey. “Then I became a VJ,” says the actor. “From 2008 to 2012, I hosted a lot of TV shows, from music, spoofs, IPL, dance shows, talent shows... I’ve also hosted award shows. I do that even now sometimes, when I get time from my films and music,” he adds.

Acting, singing and music for now

Ayushmann is now busy with his many work assignments. “Hosting a show doesn’t interest me as of now, but at a later stage of my career, I’d like to do that again. Maybe, host a talk show. Even during concerts, I love interacting with people. But, right now, I want to explore myself as an actor, singer, and a musician. Anchoring has taken a backseat. It’s a deliberate attempt.”

Seacrest is a favourite

While he has been a radio and TV host, his favourite is neither of the famous Jimmys — Fallon or Kimmel. “I love Ryan Seacrest. I’ve always idolised him as a radio presenter and anchor because he was the only one doing these two things together. His knowledge of music is great, and I was a music geek too when I was a presenter. I used to make my own playlists. Being an anchor is not just about the humour, but also about the connect. You have to strike every chord — emotional, funny, spiritual, or sad. I think he’s the kind of person who can do that.”
