She even went on to say that India with a population of more than 1.3 billion people sees their dreams come alive and Khurrana is one of them. Besides hard work and talent, “patience, perseverance and fearlessness” are also the characteristics of those who dare to dream big like the actor said Padukone.
Sharing about her first interaction with Khurrana, she wrote, “I remember Ayushmann Khurrana vividly from his debut film, Vicky Donor. He had, of course, been a part of the entertainment industry in various other ways for several years before that, but the reason you and I talk about him today is because of the impact he has been able to create through memorable films and iconic characters. Where male protagonist roles often fall into the trap of stereotypical masculinity, Ayushmann has successfully and convincingly transformed into characters who challenge those very stereotypes.”
