After winning 'Roadies', Ayushmann went on to host and judge the show.
Actor Ayushmann Khurrana married his longtime girlfriend Tahira Kashyap in 2008. However, in a recent interview, he recalled breaking up with her after winning the TV reality show 'Roadies' and becoming the most popular boy in his hometown, Chandigarh.
During an interview with Mashable India, Ayushmann reflected, "It is very difficult to deal with fame when you are 16-17. I remember I broke up with my girlfriend then. I was getting a lot of attention for the first time apart from my girlfriend. I lost my mind. I went through that journey when you are in your teens, and you have a gawky image, you are blooming and flowering and becoming a man."

Ayushmann emerged as the winner of the second season of the adventure reality series 'Roadies'. Although he now recognises that fame from TV reality shows is short-lived, back in 2004, it got to his head.
"I was the most popular guy in Chandigarh at that time. So, I broke up with Tahira saying, 'See I am getting a lot of attention, I have to live life now.' But I got back to her in six months and told her 'I can't do this, I can't be a 'f*****'," Ayushmann added.
Ayushmann and Tahira have been married for 16 years, but their love story began 23 years ago on March 15, 2001. In 2022, Tahira shared a mushy photo with Ayushmann to mark her 21st dating anniversary. While sharing the photos on Instagram, Tahira wrote, "21 years of creating memories And we still fight and love like how it was in 2001! @ayushmannk only you bring out the best in me even in the most testing situation! Umm forever (sic)."
After winning 'Roadies', Ayushmann went on to host and judge the show. He became a familiar face on television before making his Bollywood debut with the Shoojit Sircar directorial 'Vicky Donor'. He was last seen in the 2023 romantic-comedy 'Dream Girl 2'.
