Ashutosh Rana recalls riding a cycle all the way to attend his first Filmfare night

In a recent interaction with Mashable, Ashutosh Rana recalled the days of hardship he went through early on in his career, when he didn’t even have a car and ended up travelling through taxis and local trains. The actor opened up about one particular time, when he got nominated at the Filmfare actor for his performance in Dushman. However, since he didn’t have any vehicle, he was left to travel to the award night in a cycle itself. Adding how his Guru was the first one to ever ask him about his preference for car, Ashutosh said:

“Later, the film was nominated for Filmfare award, so I asked my guru if I should buy a car now because it was a big award night! He asked, ‘If you go by cycle, will they not give you an award?’ He said just be carefree, go the way you are. I didn’t say anything. A week before the event, he called me and asked, ‘What is the biggest car today?’ I told him Honda City. He said you can get this.”

When Renuka mentioned how people believed that her marriage with Ashutosh won’t last long

For the unversed, Renuka Shahane was previously married to the Marathi theatre writer, Vijay Kenkare. However, after separating from him in a few years, she got married to Ashutosh Rana in 2001. In one of her older interviews with Mid-Day, Renuka had reflected how people thought her second marriage wouldn’t last long enough than a month. In her words:

“With that kind of background, many people thought that we weren’t going to be compatible. In fact, a lot of people who were pretty close to us predicted that we’ll last only one month, or a year, and not more than that…Whatever said and done, it is unfortunate, but the change and the adjustment is usually one way."
