Unlike his brother Ayushmann Khurana, a successful leading hero since six years, Aparshakti began his acting career with supporting roles and he says it was a conscious move as he does not want to fall in the ambit of the 'nepotism' debate. He entered the industry with films like Aamir Khan’s 'Dangal' and Karan Johar produced 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania'.
