'Bachchan bante nahi, Bachchan toh bas hote hai': Ayushmann Khurrana gushes over 'Gulabo Sitabo' co-star

Ayushmann Khurrana who will be sharing screen space with legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan in Gulabo Sitabo for the first time has said that he has idolised his co-star since childhood and that sharing screen space with him was an amazing experience. 

In an Instagram post, gushing about Amitabh Bahchan, Ayushmann said that every aspiring actor dreams of achieving what Amitabh has. He further also quoted a dialouge from his last release, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan that read, "Bachchan bante nahi, Bachchan toh bas hote hai (Bachchans are not made, they simply are)".

Ayushmann also shared with his fans that it was after watching Amitabh on the big screen in Hum that the fire of becoming an actor was ignited in him. He was a schoolboy in Chandigarh, however, when he shot for his first television show at Mukesh Mills, the same place where the iconic song Jumma Chumma from Hum was shot, he got the "I have arrived" feeling.

He said that though they were at loggerheads with each other in the film, in reality, he does not have the audacity to say anything in front of his co-star. Ayushmann, who made his Bollywood debut with Shoojit Sircar’s Vicky Donor in 2012, also thanked the filmmaker for his trust in him. 

Ayushmann concluded his post with, "Sau janam kurbaan yeh janam paane ke liye, zindagi ne diye mauke hazaar hunar dikhane ke liye (I would sacrifice a hundred lives to live this one, life has given a thousand opportunities to showcase my talent)." Gulabo Sitabo got a direct-to-digital release on Amazon Prime Video on June 12 and has been received with immense love and appreciation from the audiences.
