With several shows as host, anchor and actor under his belt, the versatile artist returns to his first love, radio
As an RJ, singer, comedian, anchor and television host, Aparshakti Khurana wears many hats with enthusiasm. What remains constant in all his endeavors is his sense of humour. Their laughter precedes their conversation – wholeheartedly and happy.
After a hiatus of six years, he is back to host a show on radio called sometimes in love. Recently launched on Ishq FM, the show has 24 stories on radio and six digital episodes.
Aparshakti in the series will take the listeners to the many forms of love through a range of emotions. “It is primarily storytelling through my voice. Although they are essentially love stories, they also have stories of betrayal, heartbreak and second chance,” he explains.
The stories, though fictional, are especially concerning for people working in the corporate sector, says Aparshakti. “We have a story on long distance relationships that most people can relate to. Stories are about the people around us; Even the names and professions are as real as they can get. “
Aparshakti says, “I never thought of becoming an actor. Whatever little creativity I have, it is only because of my upbringing in radio. My eight-year stint with radio gave me the confidence to face the camera. I am happy to be back in this space.”
He played the lead role in HelmetA comedy film on condom, which released last month. His elder brother Ayushmann Khurrana set a trend Vicky donor.
“We relate to such stories although the subject is considered taboo. Even now, it seems strange for many people to ask for a packet of condom at the medical store. We cannot be weird about the time we are living in,” he says.
Aparshakti says that audiences are now getting attracted towards the new age content-driven cinema. “Vicky Donor” It has in a way changed the way we watch movies in our country. not only Helmet, I think films made after that, especially by young filmmakers, are inspired by such subjects.”
As much as she enjoys her many roles in showbiz, Aparshakti believes that balancing is a challenge. “Music requires a different kind of training, video requires a different thing. For anchoring, you have to look into the eyes of the camera and talk to it, while acting, you have to be the character and believe that there is no camera and not think about who is filming it. There is a creative premise that is common but the process is different. I have been a busy artist for the last five years and could not be happier. Having said that, I try to be a multi-tasker. I try to do things that make me happy and radio is one of them. It is difficult to find time for all the creative forums, but I try to find time for each and every one of them.”
Aparshakti, father of a three-month-old baby girl, is happy to skip workouts to spend time with his daughter. “During pregnancy, I announced to my family that I would be the baby of the house,” he signs off, breaking into his trademark heartfelt laugh.
