There is a strange real-life connection between me and my character, Binod," Aparshakti Khurana says. I began my career as a costume designer, but I always wanted to work in television Aparshakti Khurana has taken audiences by surprise after an outstanding delivery for his new hit series 'Jubilee' on Prime Video. With his latest much lauded performance, Aparshakti has hit it out of the park showcasing Binod’s journey - starting off as a worker in the studio to climbing the ladder to stardom as Madan Kumar. Talking about his role as Madan Kumar in the multi-starrer period-drama, Aparshakti said, "There is a weird real-life connection between me and my character, Binod. I started my career as a costume designer at the age of 21-22 but I always wanted to switch careers and work on TV as a host. So, I joined a television channel as a costume stylist and worked my way through and landed an audition as a TV host for a show. Luckily, I was selected for the same and my journey started from there. And in Jubilee, too, I start my career as an employee at Srikant Roy’s (Prosenjit Chatterjee) studio where I work as an assistant but secretly aspire to be an actor. So that little connection was a motivation to work on this role better. That's what worked for me.” Set parallel to the evolution of both India and the movies, 'Jubilee' unveils the stories and dreams that gave birth to the Hindi film industry as we know it.
