Ayushmann
Khurrana
singing
Dil
Dil
Pakistan:
Recently,
several
A-list
Bollywood
celebs,
including
Alia
Bhatt,
Katrina
Kaif,
Ranbir
Kapoor,
Madhuri
Dixit,
and
others,
visited
Ayodhya
for
the
consecration
ceremony
of
newly-built
Ram
Mandir
on
January
22.
Actor-singer
Ayushmann
Khurrana,
too,
sought
blessings
at
the
temple.
And
now,
days
after
this
ceremony,
a
video
of
Ayushmann
singing
'Dil
Dil
Pakistan'
is
going
crazy
viral
on
social
media.
The
video
didn't
sit
well
with
the
netizens
who
are
slamming
him
for
the
same.
Many
even
called
the
actor
anti-national.
Ayushmann
Khurrana
sings
Dil
Dil
Pakistan
A
video
clip
of
Ayushmann
Khurrana
singing
"Dil
Dil
Pakistan" at
a
concert
venue
was
shared
on
social
media.
It's
an
unofficial
Pakistani
patriotic
song
that
was
originally
composed
and
released
by
the
Pak
band
Vital
Signs
in
1987.
Sharing
the
video,
a
Twitter
user
wrote,
"The
clown
@ayushmannk
was
singing
"Dil
Dil
Pakistan"
when
Pakistanis
were
kiIIing
our
soldiers
&
innocent
citizens..
No
wonder
he's
so
upset
to
see
#RamMandir."

The

I
don't
trust
most
of
these
Bollywoodiyas.
They
can
even

their

Since
then,
the
video
has
garnered
massive
backlash
on
the
internet;
however,
it
is
being
shared
in
a
misleading
context.
It
is
an
old
video
that
dates
back
to
2017
and
shows
Khurrana,
along
with
his
actor
brother
Aparshakti
Khurrana,
performing
at
a
concert
in
Dubai.
The
video
being
shared
is
misleading
because
it
does
not
give
the
entire
context
behind
singing
the
song,
nor
does
it
state
that
the
actor
has
sung
some
Indian
songs
as
well,
like
'Chak
De
India'.
A
longer
version
of
the
same
video
is
available
on
YouTube,
which
shows
Ayushmann
paying
tribute
to
people
from
different
states
and
regions,
such
as
Punjabi,
Uttar
Pradesh,
Bengali,
and
South
India.
After
he
sang
all
these
songs,
he
sang
Dil
Dil
Pakistan
and
Chak
De
India
along
with
his
brother
Aparshakti
Khurrana.
The
actor
in
the
video
is
heard
saying,
"This
one
is
for
our
Pakistani
friends" and
proceeds
to
sing
the
song
named
'Dil
Dil
Pakistan'.
Following
this,
the
duo
performed
the
popular
Hindi
song
'Chak
De
India'.
The
video
has
been
shared
by
an
unverified
channel
named
Selfie
TV,
which
shared
the
video
with
the
caption,
"Ayushman
Khurana
Giving
Tribute
to
all
asian
countries
through
his
punjabi
singing
in
Dubai."
According
to
a
report
by
Gulf
News,
Indian
actor
Ayushmann
Khurrana
and
Pakistani
actor
Ali
Zafar
were
going
to
perform
together
in
the
Dubai
Duty
Free
Tennis
Stadium
on
October
27,
2017.
