Zeeshan Ayyub’s wife Rasika Agashe says she doesn’t want him to call Karan Johar, YRF to ask for work: ‘I won’t like it’

Zeeshan said that he told Hansal Mehta and Zoya Akhtar that he wants to work with them, but these conversations were in person, and not over the phone. “When I meet people in person, I express that I want to work with them, but I have never called to ask but I think I should,” he said. As soon as he said this, his wife Rasika Agashe, who was sitting next to him, shook her head.

When asked to elaborate on the same, Rasika said, “I respect that people offer him work after watching his performances. I am proud of it. So I won’t like it if he has to go and call them,” she said.

Zeeshan received a lot of acclaim for his performance as the upright journalist Imran Siddiqui in Scoop. He previously spoke to PTI about his role, and said, “Hansal told me just one thing: You have to make him human. Someone talking about truth and honesty and not sounding boring… Making him human was the biggest task. Hansal said, ‘He should look human and feel like someone you know. Then only we will get through what he is saying and that would be the big reason for the success of the show.”
