Jibraan Khan reveals auditioning for Karan Johar's Student Of The Year 2
In a recent chat with Free Press Journal, Jibraan Khan was asked why he took so long to make his big screen debut after Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. The actor revealed that the question of his debut had been a recurring one over the past 5-6 years.
He candidly admitted that the journey had not been easy, emphasizing the importance of finding the right project to mark his debut. Jibraan knew he needed to stand out and prepare himself thoroughly as a mainstream performer, focusing on both physicality and acting skills.
He highlighted that one cannot passively wait for opportunities to come; instead, he actively sought work by reaching out to directors and producers and never shied away from requesting auditions. Although Khan revealed that he "auditioned for Karan Johar's Student of The Year 2", he didn't get the role because he looked younger than Tiger Shroff.
However, he believed that Ishq Vishk Rebound was destined for him, and he was born to play the role of Sahir.
