Ayushi Khurana stepped into the role of an investigative reporter with her latest show, Jaane Anjaane Hum Mile. While she understood the nuances of portraying a journalist, her preparation was more observational than research-driven. Her director, Uttam Ahlawat, filled the gaps. “I didn’t do any research, but I did observe how reporting happens in the entertainment beat. I would observe how journalists behaved, their body language; I was always learning while watching the news. Earlier, I watched the news to increase my knowledge; now I watch it to learn more about how my character carries herself. I have learnt everything from interacting with the journalists I meet. I didn’t see political news; it was more about business-related reports. The rest was filled in by my director,” shares the actor.
