"It was a Balaji show, and I do not remember the name. Perhaps it was either Kasauti Zindagii Kayy or Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Pulkit Samrat played that role eventually. I had already made it as an RJ by the time I auditioned for the show. So I told my casting director, "Bro, I am going¡¯. So I could not do that TV show, "

On the work front, Ayushmann was last seen in Anubhav Sinha¡¯s Anek, released in theaters on May 27.

Despite good public word of mouth after the trailer release, the movie failed to perform at the box office. Ayushmann's next line-up of releases includes Doctor G and An Action Hero.
