Worship Khanna on his acting journey; says ‘I’m still walking on the path, the destination is far’

Actor Worship Khanna, known for his roles in Kumkum Bhagya, Meri Doli Mere Angana, Ishq Subhan Allah, and web series like Hello Jee and Cold Lassi Aur Chicken Masala, is currently seen playing Puran in Pati Brahmachari.

In a candid conversation, he opens up about his journey from journalism to acting and how passion and perseverance led him to Mumbai.“I had already made up my mind during my school days. I started acting when I was just 13 years old,” says Worship, recalling his early love for performance. He pursued Mass Media and Journalism, choosing subjects that aligned with his dream of working in the entertainment industry. “That course taught me editing, writing, advertising — all of which helped me understand how the industry works,” he shares.Worship landed his first job at a media house at 21 through college placements. But something felt missing. “I was proud, but I realized my heart wasn’t in it,” he admits. “I used to write scripts, but someone else would read them on screen. When I asked to anchor, I was told only females usually get that chance. That’s when I knew this isn’t what I wanted.”To pursue his dreams in Mumbai, he had to convince his father. “I told him I wanted to do my Master’s.

I said, someday my kids should be proud their dad completed his education. That worked,” he laughs.After moving, he balanced studies with auditions. “My first break came with CID, and slowly, more roles followed. Every journey teaches something. I’m still walking on the path — the destination is far, but I’m learning at every turn.”On his latest role, Worship says, “I play Puran — a cheerful tea-seller who faces struggles but stays joyful. Viewers will love the trio of Puran, Monika, and Bluetooth!”
