Ayushmann Khurrana: 2017 has been a blessing, thanks to all the characters that I portrayed

Talented actor Ayushmann Khurrana was seen in three films in 2017 - Meri Pyaari Bindu, Bareilly Ki Barfi and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan - and out of three, Bareilly Ki Barfi and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan turned out to be major hits at the box office. Besides the huge success of Bareilly Ki Barfi and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, what made 2017 special for the actor was the fact that he completed five years in Bollywood. Ayushmann is pleased with what he has achieved in the year gone by. “I am glad that the fifth year proved great. I hope every year turns out to be like that and that I keep making right choices. But 2017 has been a blessing, thanks to all the characters that I portrayed.”

The actor feels that showbiz in full of uncertainty and anything can happen anytime. “In our profession, anything can happen but at the same me, an actor has to just go with his or her intuition and gut; and grow as an artist. All you can do is be conscious of the choices you make, and give your best as an actor. That’s why the cumulative response to Bareilly Ki Barfi and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan was very satisfying.”

While in 2017, the audience saw him mostly in comic and romantic roles, 2018 is going to be a year when Khurrana will display a different side of his versatility. "For starters, I have made a radical choice with Sriram Raghavan’s next. I’ve already made a mark as a boy-next-door so, it’s high time that I reveal my dark side now (laughs). Then, I have Badhaai Ho, with which I am going back to the quirky space that, I feel, I own by now.”
