Himanshi Khurana Revealed She Passed Up An Offer To Star Opposite John Abraham In Parmanu; Find Out Why

Actress and model Himanshi Khurana who hails from Punjab became a household name after her stint on the reality show Bigg Boss 13. Himanshi whose career significantly accelerated after her stint on the show spoke about stepping into Hindi cinema and revealed that even before Bigg Boss happened she turned down film offers from Bollywood, even one opposite John Abraham in the 2018 film Parmanu.

Himanshi says she doesn’t just want to be an eye candy in film and wants to do films based on strong characters and doesn’t mind waiting for the right opportunity. She tells Spotboye how she couldn’t believe her fate when she was offered to play John Abraham’s wife in Parmanu once and she ended up passing on the offer.

The actress tells the portal, "I had left one Hindi movie also and that was Parmanu starring John Abraham. I was in Delhi when this film got offered to me and a lot of people compelled me to take this up. It was his wife's role. But honestly speaking I was not able to believe it. I wasn't feeling very sure about it. There was not anything wrong from the makers' side in fact they convinced me a lot but in the back of my mind, I was thinking that why would somebody offer this role to someone from Punjab? My mind was puzzled at that point of time and I said no. But later I came to know the opportunity was real."

Himanshi, however, has no regrets about passing on the role which was later bagged by actress Anuja Sathe.

Last year Himanshi had also revealed that she was offered a film with boyfriend Asim Riaz but the project failed to materialize because of the pandemic and lockdown.
