Bollywood
star
Ayushmann
Khurrana
played
the
role
of
Akshay
Roy,
an
urbane
Bengali
gentleman
from
Kolkata,
in
the
Yash
Raj
Films'
film
Meri
Pyaari
Bindu.
He
had
immediately
felt
a
deep
connect
with
Bengal
and
Bengalis
and
its
culture.
On
Mahalaya
today,
which
marks
the
arrival
of
Maa
Durga,
Ayushmann
took
to
social
media
to
wish
Bengalis
all
over
the
world.
Ayushmann,
who
had
learnt
Bengali
while
prepping
for
Meri
Pyaari
Bindu,
charmingly
used
Bengali
to
wish
the
folks.
The
versatile
actor,
who
has
a
sizeable
number
of
Bengali
fans
on
his
social
media,
wrote,
"Shubho
Mahalaya
to
all
the
Bengalis
living
across
the
world!
Asha
kori
apnara
sobai
bhalo
aachen!!
(Hope
you
all
are
doing
great!)
May
us
all
be
blessed
by
Maa
Durga.
Wishing
happiness
for
all
this
festive
season."
The
Punjabi-born
actor,
during
an
event
of
Meri
Pyaari
Bindu,
had
said,
"I
always
used
to
feel
I
am
a
Bengali
-
a
Bengali
in
a
Punjabi.
I
think
I
have
an
amazing
connection
with
Bengalis
and
also
these
days
I
am
listening
a
lot
of
Rabindra
Sangeet
and
I
love
Bengali
culture.
Entire
Bengal
is
full
of
art,
literature
and
also
food,
I
think
I
am
in
love
with
Bengal."
With
respect
to
work,
Ayushmann
Khurrana
will
next
be
seen
in
Abhishek
Kapoor's
yet-to-be-titled
film
alongside
Vaani
Kapoor.
