Ayushmann Khurrana (born 14 September 1984) is an Indian film actor and singer. He is the recipient of two Filmfare awards. In 2012, Khurrana made his film debut in Shoojit Sircar's romantic comedy Vicky Donor, which touched on the topic of sperm donation in India. Upon release, the film was a critical and commercial success.
He did serious theatre for five years. He was also the founding member of DAV College’s “Aaghaaz” and “Manchtantra”, which are active theatre groups in Chandigarh. He has conceptualised and acted in street plays and won prizes in national college festivals such as Mood Indigo (IIT Bombay), OASIS (Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani) and St. Bedes Simla. He also won a Best Actor award for playing Ashwatthama in Dharamvir Bharati’s Andha Yug.
After playing relatable "good boy" roles in several films, Ayushmann Khurrana is thrilled about his next project with filmmaker Sriram Raghavan, which he says, will "shock" the audience. The yet-to-be-titled thriller will reportedly feature Ayushmann as a blind concert pianist.
The actor says he has never really done films of diverse genres before,
and is therefore excited about this one. "I am glad I've taken my
time. I have dabbled two different characters but I haven't dabbled two
genres. My films have been medium budget ones, set in small towns about
middle class family where I play relatable good boy characters.
Ayushmann Khurrana has come a long way from an RJ to being one of the most sought-after actors in Bollywod. Out of the many A-listers of Bollywood, Ayushmann Khurrana is definitely that one actor who stands out because his journey here has been plain incredible.
