Before making his Bollywood debut in the year 2012 with Vicky Donor, Ayushmann Khurrana was a household name in television. At the age of 20, the actor went on to win MTV Roadies (Season 2) in 2004. Soon after that, he made appearances in TV shows namely Kayamath, India's Got Talent (Season 1), Amul Music Ka Maha Muqqabla, Extra Innings T20 for Indian Premier League (Season 3), India's Got Talent (Season 2) to name a few.
Now we got our hands on a throwback video of Ayushmann from his MTV Roadies (Season 2) auditions where he was being grilled by the judges including Raghu Ram. In the video, the actor, who was a contestant back then is seen saying, "Dost banana meri khoobi hi nahi mera pesha bhi hai (making friends is not just something I am good at but it is also what my job is)."
While Raghu goes on to tell Ayushmann, "Aapka put on charm, aapka smile, aapka baat karne ka tareeka, it’s not you." Khurrana tells Raghu that he is an actor, to which the latter says, "I am not interested in your acting. This is a reality show."
Raghu also tells Ayushmann, "Kisko bewakoof bana rahe hain (who are you fooling). Aap asliyat mein aise hain? Bhagwan bachaaye (You are actually like this? God help us)."

Earlier talking about his journey, Ayushmann had told HT Cafe, "I was 19 when I started my journey with Roadies and became an actor at 27. It took me eight years to get a breakthrough. If I would’ve straightaway gone to become an actor at 19, I wouldn’t have left an impact."
