Aparshakti Khurana says he wants to quit acting and learn tailoring after 10 years: 'Kapda kaatna, silna sikhna hai'
BOllywood doer Aparshakti Khurana latterly opened up nearly the lesser-known stage of his calling when he worked as a stylist after moving to Mumbai. During a conversation with Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi on their show Double Date, the actor revealed that he hopes to step away from acting in the next 10–12 years and pursue a new passion, learning tailoring from scratch.Aparshakti Khurrana on quiting actingWhen Angad praised Aparshakti for his fashion choices, the actor recalled, "There was a phase when I thought about what could be one way for me to shift to Bombay. So, there was a phase when I was a stylist in Mumbai. I styled some hosts who were hosting Bollywood shows on a very famous TV channel. I really wish that, slowly, I will say goodbye to whatever I am doing now. Mera bahut mann hai, after 10-12 years, to learn tailoring. Kapda kaise kaatna hai, kaise silna hai, voh seekhna hai (I want to learn how to cut fabric and how to stitch it)."He further spoke about how opportunities in the entertainment industry started coming his way after he married Aakriti Ahuja. He said, "When I was working in radio, or at the Delhi High Court, or doing whatever small jobs I had before getting married, I used to text or email directors, casting directors, production houses, or TV channels. No one replied to me even once. The day I got married, I received replies to three-year-old messages, asking if I could come and join them because they were looking for a host. I didn’t believe in lady luck at all. But then I realised, aisa bhi kuch ho sakta hai (something like this could also happen)."About Aparshakti KhuranaAparshakti made his Bollywood debut with the blockbuster Dangal. Helmed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film went on to earn over ₹2,000 crore worldwide at the box office.
