Quotes

Ayushmann Khurrana
  • “I don’t want to stop VJing. It’s beautiful being a VJ.”
  • “In reality I’m actually a very shy person. But in front of the camera I come alive. I’m probably the only VJ who isn’t myself on camera.”
  • “Being a VJ is easier than being an RJ. Working on radio requires you to be technically sound and be mentally into it. VJs are pampered and don’t have to do much besides looking good."
  • “There is no diversity in Indian TV shows. It is pretty monotonous, but I did it for the money. I was working towards buying an apartment and a car so I stuck it out. I found myself working 14 hours a day.”
  • “I stayed in touch with MTV, which helped me eventually land a job as a VJ with the channel.”
  • "We don't know what the participants are going to perform, whether they'll excel or make a fool of themselves. Judges are equally unpredictable. By the end of it, it's our individual take on it, we could be politically wrong but I'm sure the audience is going to love it."
  • "The judges, the participants, the stage, the live audience, it's going to be one overwhelming experience."
  • "The judges, the participants, the stage, the live audience, it's going to be one overwhelming experience!"
  • "I have a habit of seeing life in a slow motion. Now this traffic jam has pressed the 'pause' button!"
