Lesser known facts about Ayushmann Khurrana

Ayushmann Khurrana may be busy shooting for his next film – ‘Article 15’, in Lucknow, but that has not stopped him from sparing some time to learn a new language. According to reports doing the rounds, the star has turned to a local language coach to help him speak Urdu fluently and even learn to write the script. The actor’s grandfather reportedly knew the language well and urged him to learn it. Moreover, Khurrana wants to pick it up because of his love for poetry.

Calling this decision a dream come true, the actor said that although he regrets not learning it from his grandfather, he is sure this will make him a better artist and poet.

Recently, the ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ fame Ayushmann Khurrana reportedly spilled beans on his wife Tahira Kashyap's reaction on the kissing scene in his debut movie ‘Vicky Donor’. According to the reports, Tahira didn’t approve of the kissing scene and the couple was going through a rough patch in their relationship during that time.

Reportedly, Ayushman quoted, “She did not want me to kiss on screen. I was wanted by everyone (after Vicky Donor became a hit). We were also going through a rough patch. She was not ready for all this.”

At the same time, the star also confessed that with time things have changed in a good way. "But Tahira is also an artist. She has grown tremendously. I was very immature when I married. Plus, we had a long-distance marriage for the longest time. I am glad that things are good now,”, Ayushmann reportedly concluded.

It’s been eight years since Ayushmann and Tahira tied knots. They are blessed with two kids, Virajveer and Varushka. On cinematic front, Ayushmann will soon hit the screen with comedy-drama ‘Badhaai Ho’ and suspense thriller ‘Andhadhun’.
