Stree 2: Jana aka Abhishek Banerjee's crush on Kiara Advani busted by...

Abhishek Banerjee left everyone pretty much impressed with his character of Jana in Bhediya. He was also a part of Stree released in 2018. Interestingly he was a part of both the movies- Vedaa and Stree 2 released on August 15.

Hence the journey to recognition in Bollywood has been quite long for Abhishek who recently discussed some interesting things about his life, work experiences, and more on a podcast. Recalling the moments spent during the shooting of Bhediya with Varun Dhawan , the actor revealed an interesting incident. Abhishek Banerjee said, “Unhone muzhe pucha ki kaunsi heroine pasand hai. Toh maine Galati se bol diya ki yaar muzhe Kiara Advani pasand hai. Gadi mein baitha tha Bhediya ka scene chal raha tha, choti si gadi thi, bahar nahi nikal sakte the, camera wamera laga hua tha.”

Varun Dhawan just shocked the budding actor by directly calling Kiara Advani. Abhishek added, “Unhone seedha Kiara Advani ko phone karke bol diya ki Abhishek Banerjee has a crush on you. And I was like ye kya rahe ho yaar aap? Kya kar rahe ho? Matlab you know. And he is like that. Unko koi baat bolo na toh ..”

Abhishek Banerjee also went down memory lane recalling how he did voiceovers for NDTV and even worked in a Doordarshan television serial Kyunki Jeena Isika Naam Hai. From opening a successful casting studio to making his foray into Bollywood the Ajji actor revealed all his struggles and how even today he considers Stree 2 director Amar Kaushik his godfather. He also revealed that while roles were hard to come by initially he has even rejected many roles even after Stree, especially that of a friend to the lead hero.

The actor who has come a long way from a nobody to a recognised actor now is a die-hard Amitabh Bachchan fan and even said that he is like an Eklavya in front of Big B and has learned a lot watching him on the screen.
