Ayushmann & I Had a Childhood Secret | Zaroor Song & Mumbai Food | Aparshakti Khurana | OTS S02 EP02

Join us for Episode 2 of On The Spot (Season 2) where we sit down with a man who has worn many hats, but carries each of them with the same humility and heart. An actor. A lawyer. A singer. A lyricist. An RJ. And above everything else, a deeply grounded and genuinely warm human being, Aparshakti Khurana. This isn’t just another podcast. It is a conversation about identity, risks, family, food, failures, faith, and finding your place in the world. Aparshakti opens up about what he calls the most difficult five years of his life, the time he spent studying and practicing law. On paper, it looked secure, stable, and respectable. But internally, he was wrestling with something bigger, the quiet pull of performance, the stage, and storytelling. That “stage pe chadhne ka keeda” was not new. It had been there since childhood. It just needed the courage to be heard. We also talk about Jab Khuli Kitaab and why the project is personally meaningful to him. Aparshakti shares beautiful insights about working with the legendary Pankaj Kapur. He speaks about the discipline, the silence, the craft, and the kind of presence that teaches you without saying too much. There is nostalgia too. A lot of nostalgia. From his Dadi’s comforting dahi ki sabzi to the Delhi food he still searches for in Mumbai. From the dish he misses the most to late night cereal cravings. Yes, even some bachpan ke secrets with his brother Ayushmann Khurrana are revealed. We also dive into music and how his song Zaroor started trending on Instagram. He shares how organically music became a part of his journey and how in Punjabi culture actors often become singers and singers often become actors. When we talk about Jubilee, you can feel the pride in his voice. Not loud. Not boastful. Just grateful. Grateful for the roles, the growth, and the grace. One of the most moving moments in this episode comes when Aparshakti says he has received more from life than he ever expected. Not because everything was easy, but because everything meant something. We also ask him about his current mental state. Is he satisfied? Is he at peace? His answer is not flashy. It is honest. This episode is laughter and vulnerability, ambition and acceptance, stories and self reflection. Watch till the end for stories, laughter, life lessons, and a whole lot of heart.
