Actor
Ayushmann
Khurrana,
who
will
be
seen
playing
a
Bengali
novelist
named
Abhimanyu
Roy
in
the
forthcoming
film
Meri
Pyaari
Bindu,
says
it
was
fun
learning
the
language.
Being
a
true
blue
Punjabi,
how
difficult
was
it
for
him
to
learn
Bangla?
Ayushmann
told
IANS
over
phone
from
Mumbai,
"I
don't
want
to
call
myself
a
hardcore
Punjabi.
For
Bangla,
I
had
two
teachers.
In
the
film,
I
am
speaking
in
Bangla
with
my
parents.''
''But
with
Parineeti
(Chopra),
I
am
speaking
mostly
Hindi
because
she
is
not
playing
a
Bengali
in
the
film.
The
nuances
in
the
film
are
strikingly
Bengali.
It
was
fun
learning
this
language."
Meri
Pyaari
Bindu,
which
is
directed
by
Akshay
Roy,
features
Parineeti
as
an
aspiring
singer.
Asked
if
he
would
like
to
play
a
singer
on
screen,
Ayushmann
said,
"Definitely...
Because
you
get
to
sing
your
own
songs.
In
this
particular
film,
I'm,
of
course,
not
singing
because
I
play
a
non-singer
in
the
film.
Parineeti
is
playing
the
singer.
If
she
wasn't
playing
the
singer,
then
I
would
have
sung."
