Actor Ayush Khatri, who is known for his work in shows like ‘Bharat Ka Veer Putra Maharana Pratap’, ‘Satrangi Sasural’, has opened up on how having good looks is important in the showbiz industry, adding that if one wants to work in a Karan Johar film or a big banner movie, he or she needs to have good looks.
Ayush, who has previously worked in the shows ‘Agent Raghav - Crime Branch’, and ‘Tasha-e-ishq’, will be soon seen in an upcoming OTT project 'Moral Justice'.
The actor said even if you are not that talented, having good looks can make a big difference in the industry.
“I think good looks are important for everyone. Nowadays, when any student completes their 12th grade, the first thing they do is look at themselves in the mirror. After that, they hit the gym and work on building their body. Those whose bodies don't naturally develop often resort to using steroids. Their entire appearance changes – their hair, their glasses, they even start using contact lenses,” he said.
Ayush shared: “Nowadays, everyone wants to look beautiful because times are changing. In the past, it was believed that being tall was essential, but nowadays, people have accepted themselves. If someone is 5'7", 5'8", 5'6", or even 5'5", they work on bringing out their best look. They are working on that.”
“Have you seen how many gyms have opened up nowadays? There are gyms on every corner. There are so many brands for supplements. Like right now, I am a brand ambassador for one of the supplement brands. I get calls for collaborations all the time, asking me to tie up with them because my social media is strong in the bodybuilding and good-looking aspect," he said.
Ayush shared: "So, I believe that good looks are essential for an actor because if you want to work in a Karan Johar film or a big banner film, you need to have good looks."
Ayush further said: “Now, you see Ranveer Singh, you see Ranbir Kapoor, you see anyone; everyone has good looks. So, good looks are very important. Even if you don't have the talent factor, good looks are still crucial because they make your work easier.”
“If you are attractive, people listen to you, even if you're saying something wrong or right. And if, despite looking at your average report, you speak confidently and authoritatively, people will still like you. Good looks make a significant difference,” he added.
