Aparshakti Khurana has carved a way for himself separate from his brother Ayushmann Khurrana, so far, however, only by playing supporting roles or playing second to the main lead of the film. However, the actor now is gearing up for the release of Helmet opposite Pranutan Bahl which will mark his first solo release as a Bollywood hero.

In a recent interview, Aparshakti opened up about his career and how he prioritizes his loved ones over his work but it does not make him "less ambitious".

"I feel things will get worse in the future, considering we are getting obsessed with our careers. We rarely meet our real friends. These days, if someone prioritizes relationships over professional life, people tend to call them ‘less ambitious’, and they are looked down upon by people who are living a life that only revolves around their career. That is untrue in my philosophy. I am someone who is very much driven by my family members and childhood friends, and I will never get so obsessed with my career as to miss out on the touch and warmth that I get from them. Does that make me sound less ambitious? I do not know, but that surely makes me happy," he told IANS. Aparshakti who was born and brought up in Chandigarh made his debut with Aamir Khan's 2016 blockbuster Dangal and has since then carved a niche for himself in films such as Badrinath Ki Dulhania, Stree, Luka Chuppi, Jabariya Jodi, Pati Patni Aur Woh, among others.

Talking further about opportunities in the film industry, and carving their own space, Aparshakti said, "I think I am fortunate to be part of some interesting stories. Also, although those parts were small, each one of them was different from the other, and that is how I managed to show my versatility."
