My Chemistry With Yami Is Organic: Ayushmann

Darpan News Desk IANS, 15 Dec, 2015 11:21 AM
    Singer-actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who has worked with Yami Gautam twice, says he shares an organic chemistry with the actress.
     
    After making their successful Bollywood acting debut in 2012 with Shoojit Sirkar's "Vicky Donor", the two teamed up again for a romantic music video titled "Yahin hoon Main" this month.
     
    Talking about their chemistry, the actor said: "Yami and I share an organic chemistry. While working on the video, I felt the same kind of vibe between us. The only thing is, I didn't have abs at that time." 
     
    "I did my first internship with her dad Mukesh Gautam. We are family friends so, the equation is always natural," he added. 
     
    The music of the song, sung by Ayushmann, is by Rochak Kohli and the actor himself. 
     
    Would it get better response than his previous hit number "Pani da rang"? 
     
    "'Pani da rang' had that weight of the film. Because it went with the story, people accepted it easily. It is far more challenging for a single music video to cut through that," he said. 
     
    I'M BETTER COMPOSER THAN SINGER
     
     
     
    Ayushmann Khurrana, who also sings and composes songs, considers himself to be a better composer than singer.
     
    "I always feel that I was probably a better composer than a singer," said the actor, who made his Bollywood acting debut in 2012 with Shoojit Sircar's "Vicky Donor".
     
    "Even during 'Pani da rang', when I played the song to Shoojit da (director Shoojit Sircar), I thought that I'd make a purist singer sing it... Sonu ji (Nigam), Sukhwinder ji (Singh) or Rahat ji (Fateh Ali Khan). But an organic voice is perhaps what Shoojit da liked. That's why he launched me as a singer-actor in my first film," he added.
     
    Does he intend to sing all songs in his films?
     
    "That never happens. I'm not that selfish," said the "Dum Laga ke Haisha" actor.
     
    "For 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha', the director had asked me to sing, but I said, 'No, I am Kumar Sanu's fan in the film, how can I sing?'. My character wouldn't have sounded good in his own voice. I think that the actor should be different from the singer and that was a deliberate effort," he explained about not singing in the hit film. 
     
    About his inspiration, he shared that there were several influences including Mohammed Rafi and Kishore Kumar.
     
    "I used to listen to a lot of Punjabi songs, Gurdas Mann sahab, a legend of Punjab, we listen to him a lot. These influences do rub off on you," said the actor, who is out with another song "Yahin hoon Main".
     
    "The best part about this era is that we're getting a lot of textured singers so, it's very important to have your own identity, your voice. Though I'm not a trained singer, I am proud about the fact that I have my own voice," he added.
