Ayushmann
Was
Shooting
For
An
Ad
When
His
Phone
Buzzed
With
Congratulatory
Messages
"I
was
shooting
for
an
ad-film
and
there
were
people
around
me.
So,
it
wasn't
exactly
a
'me
moment'
for
me.
I
was
busy
with
the
shot
when
suddenly
congratulatory
messages
started
pouring
in
on
my
phone.
I
was
so
shocked
to
learn
that
all
this
has
happened
-
it
was
all
so
surreal."
This
Is
How
The
Actor
Celebrated
His
National
Award
Win
"Incidentally,
I
was
shooting
with
the
cinematographer
of
Uri.
So,
both
of
us
did
a
high
five
and
the
entire
crew
started
applauding.
They
arranged
for
a
special
celebration
for
me
on
the
set.
It
was
quite
overwhelming."
Ayushmann
Reveals
How
His
Family
Reacted
To
His
Win
"My
father
was
almost
choking
on
the
phone
when
we
spoke,
after
hearing
the
news.
He
was
so
overwhelmed
that
he
could
not
talk
properly.
I
feel
it
was
even
more
overwhelming
for
him
than
me.
Tahira
(his
wife)
was
also
emotional."
A
National
Award
Was
On
His
Bucket
List
"I
am
feeling
ecstatic.
Actually,
I
am
still
trying
to
digest
this.
It
was
on
my
bucket
list
when
I
came
to
Mumbai
to
become
an
actor."
He
Is
Glad
With
The
Recognition
That
Andhadhun
Received
"The
kind
of
films
that
I
do
are
about
credibility
and
content.
I
was
actually
looking
forward
to
this
to
happen
someday
in
my
life.
Actually,
when
you're
doing
a
particular
film,
you
don't
do
it
thinking
about
an
award,
but
I
am
glad
this
happened
with
Andhadhun."
He
Spills
The
Beans
About
Vicky
Kaushal's
Phone
Call
To
Him
"Vicky
was
the
first
person
to
call
me
after
getting
the
news.
It
was
very
sweet
of
him.
Even
as
I
got
to
know
of
the
news,
there
was
a
call
from
Vicky.
We
virtually
hugged
each
other
over
the
phone.
He
is
such
a
gem
of
a
person.
It
was
very
gracious
of
him
to
give
me
a
call."
