When
a
four-year
old
Ayushmann
Khurrana
watched
Madhuri
Dixit
gyrate
to
the
tunes
of
'Ek
Do
Teen'
in
a
dingy
small
screen
theatre
in
Chandigarh,
he
was
mesmerized
by
what
was
unfolding
on
the
celluloid
as
the
audience
went
hysterical
and
chanted
'Mohini
Mohini'.
This
is
the
young
star's
first
memory
of
Bollywood.
Hailing
from
a
small
town
in
Chandigarh,
Khurrana
had
starry
ambitions.
In
fact
when
he
told
his
grandmom
that
he
wanted
to
act,
she
slapped
him!
But
all
this
didn't
stop
the
Gulabo
Sitabo
actor
from
pursuing
his
dreams.
Today,
Ayushmann
is
touted
to
be
one
of
the
most
talented
actors
in
the
tinsel
town.
But
like
any
outsider
in
the
industry,
the
actor
too
went
through
his
share
of
rejections
before
making
it
big
in
showbiz!
He
was
told
that
his
accent
was
too
Punjabi
and
that
his
eyebrows
were
too
thick.
However
all
this
didn't
deter
Ayushmann
from
giving
countless
auditions
for
TV
and
films.
He
had
even
auditioned
for
a
supporting
role
in
I
Hate
Luv
Storys
(2010)
only
to
get
rejected!
Interestingly,
Karan
Johar's
Dharma
Productions
had
once
refused
to
work
with
him
citing
that
they
worked
with
only
big
stars.
Despite
all
these
heartbreaks,
the
actor
continued
to
give
his
best
shot.
Finally
Shoojit
Sircar's
Vicky
Donor
came
his
way
and
the
rest
is
history!
As
Ayushmann
Khurrana
turns
37
today
(September
14,
2021),
we
list
down
five
reasons
why
we
absolutely
adore
this
boy!
Ayushmann
Believes
In
Breaking
The
Rules
At
a
time
when
many
Bollywood
actors
preferred
to
stick
to
formulaic
entertainers
to
make
their
rise
to
stardom
easier,
Ayushmann
Khurrana
dared
to
pick
up
unconventional
subjects
without
worrying
about
its
fate
at
the
box
office.
From
playing
a
sperm
donor
in
his
debut
film
to
essaying
a
small-time
guy
who
picks
a
'dial
a
friend'
job
where
he
has
to
converse
with
people
as
a
girl,
the
actor
went
the
unconventional
way
and
won
both,
hearts
and
big
bucks!
Who
Doesn't
Love
Ayushmann-
The
Wordsmith?
When
not
acting
in
films,
the
Andhadhun
actor
is
busy
channeling
his
inner
shayar
on
social
media.
From
love,
life
to
adulting,
Ayushmann
weaves
magic
with
his
words
on
every
topic.
In
one
of
his
interviews,
the
actor
had
revealed
that
he
takes
to
pen
for
his
sheer
love
for
poetry.
Ayushmann
Sings
His
Way
Into
Our
Hearts
Every
time
Ayushmann
takes
to
the
mic,
he
transports
us
to
another
world
with
his
soulful
voice.
Some
of
the
gems
which
he
has
gifted
to
us
includes
'Paani
Da
Rang',
'Saadi
Galli',
'Mitti
Di
Khushboo',
'Nazm
Nazm' amongst
others.
A
Doting
Husband
Ayushmann
Khurrana's
love
story
with
his
college
sweetheart
Tahira
Kashyap
is
straight
out
of
a
fairy
tale.
Over
the
years,
the
duo
has
emerged
as
one
of
the
strongest
couples
in
the
tinsel
town
who
have
stayed
with
each
other
through
thick
and
thin.
Ayushmann
was
a
pillar
of
support
for
Tahira
when
the
latter
was
diagnosed
with
cancer.
An
Inspiration
For
Those
Who
Dare
To
Dream
Big
Who
would
have
ever
imagined
that
this
Chandigarh
da
munda
who
was
thrown
out
of
the
house
by
his
father
when
he
expressed
his
desire
to
be
an
actor,
would
eventually
become
one
of
the
rising
stars
in
the
film
industry!
But
Ayushmann
proved
that
one
can
achieve
anything
with
hard
work
and
perseverance.
Speaking
about
the
actor,
he
has
some
interesting
projects
in
the
pipeline
which
includes
Chandigarh
Kare
Aashiqui,
Anek
and
Doctor
G.
Well,
we
just
can't
wait
to
catch
up
his
impressive
act
on
the
big
screen.
