Abhishek Kumar, known for his work in television series and music videos, has come a long way in his career. He rose to immense fame with his stint in the television shows Bekaboo, Udaariyaan and Bigg Boss 17. But do you know he once worked as a crowd artist in Alia Bhatt starrer Humpty Sharma ki Dulhaniya? Yes, you read that right. The actor has once again recalled his past encounter with the Bollywood star and how life has come full circle.
In a candid conversation with Filmygyan, Abhishek Kumar was asked about his meeting with Alia Bhatt on the sets of Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi season 14. He said in Hindi, 'I told her that in 2013 when I was a junior artist in Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, I worked with you for 22 days and on the 22nd day, I wanted a photo with you. But I couldn't get a photo. Your bouncers pushed me away. That day, I pledged that a day will come when you will see me doing a movie with Alia Bhatt."
He continued, 'By then, I had also made her feel like that. I had held her hand, kissed her in my hands. Then she told me that on that day, you wanted to get your photo clicked, today I want to get it clicked."

In the same caption, the actor further looked back on the day when he waited for several hours to get a picture with Alia but failed to do so. He wrote, 'Ek time tha 2013 me when i was a crowd artist in Humpty Sharma ki Dulhaniya or shoot ka last day tha. Maine socha alia mam k sath bs ek picture click hojae. Maine subah se rat k 2 bje tk wait kia k mam free hongi or ek picture click hogi. Per picture ho naa paayi. (There was a time in 2013 when I was a crowd artist in Humpty Sharma ki Dulhaniya and it was the last day of the shoot. I thought if I could click just one picture with Alia ma'am. I waited from morning till 2 in the night thinking that ma'am would be free and I would click a picture. But I couldn't take a picture.)"
'Or aaj ka din 2024 me mam ne khud kaha k Abhishek let's click a picture. Matlab kya hi din tha, growth to hui hai life me, jai mata di. She was very sweet. Dil khush ho k @aliaabhatt ko mil k (And today, in 2024 ma'am herself said Abhishek let's click a picture. What a day it was, there has been growth in life, Jai Mata Di. She was very sweet. I am very happy to meet Alia Bhatt)," he concluded while reflecting on his growth.
Abhishek had made it to the top 5 finalists in Khatron Ke Khiladi 14.
