Actor Kush Jotwani, who gained attention for his performance in Dil Dosti Dilemma alongside Anushka Sen, is steadily carving a niche for himself in the entertainment industry. From the light-hearted coming-of-age space, he’s now venturing into darker, suspense-filled terrain with Knock Knock Kaun Hai, where he stars opposite Crash Course actress Aadhya Anand.

In a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Kush shared how he’s currently focused on exploring diverse genres. “I think it is the time for me to experiment and explore. I want to grow in my craft and do as much work as possible, so there’s no particular thought behind it besides just loving the script and the graph which the story holds,” he said when asked about his shift from comedy-drama to mystery.
Speaking about his preparation for Knock Knock Kaun Hai, Kush explained that the focus was on absorbing the tone of the show rather than traditional horror tropes. “It was not precisely horror. The entire idea was to unite with the cast and understand the world of Knock Knock Kaun Hai. The mystery, the suspense, the writing—it all creates the magic, so I think that helped a lot.”
Before the release of Metro… In Dino, Kush was visibly excited about his big-screen debut in Anurag Basu’s ensemble drama. He revealed that he shares screen space with Sara Ali Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur in the film. “It is indeed one of the best opportunities that I have achieved in my career. To be working with such an esteemed director and a stellar cast is only a blessing. I will be seen with Sara Ali Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur majorly. My role is that of a corporate executive who faces challenges managing a work-life balance.”
Asked about being part of a spiritual sequel to Life in a… Metro, the actor shared that the news took time to sink in. “Honestly, it took me quite a while to digest this news and once I did, I couldn’t wait anymore to meet Basu Sir and discuss what we do in this project. Only gratitude,” he noted.
Interestingly, filmmaker Karan Johar follows Kush on social media, something fans have often picked up on. Speaking about his interaction with Johar, Kush said, “It was a lovely occasion, one fine evening in Mumbai, where I happened to come across Karan Johar sir at an event. Got the opportunity to meet him and speak about life. Honestly, when you meet such extraordinary professionals and masterminds in their field, there’s only much to learn from it and take back.”
Reflecting on his working equation with Aadhya Anand, Kush credited the actress for making the shooting process enjoyable. “Working with Aadhya was extremely fun as she brought a lot of light on set. Working on a long format usually brings the entire cast and crew closer, and this helps in building the project strongly. She has been of great help. I will always acknowledge and remember her guidance,” he said.
As for Dil Dosti Dilemma, which marked his breakout performance, Kush said the show holds a special place for him. “DDD will always be my most favourite project and a step into the acting field. As of now, there is no update over Season 2. You never know when it’s coming out!
