Imagine Ayushmann Khurrana in a dhoti-kurta, speaking in Bengali. He will surely sound as sweet as Misti Doi. The Punjabi-born, during the launch event of the song Ye Jawaani Teri, from his upcoming film Meri Pyaari Bindu, said, “I always used to feel I am a Bengali—a Bengali in a Punjabi.” This statement came after Parineeti Chopra told mediapersons that Ayushmann learnt a lot of Bengali in this movie.
“Ayushmann learnt a lot of Bengali in this movie. He has turned half Bengali,” she said. During the event here, the Dum Laga Ke Haisha actor even said a sentence or two as a proof.
While describing the movie Meri Pyaari Bindu, he said, “This story is more than Premer Golpo, which means ‘the movie is more than just a love story.’ He even said a dialogue from the movie, “Bindu Shankar Narayanan — ek kathae bola jete pare bipod,” which means ‘Bindu Shankar Narayanan — in one word is trouble.’
On a related note, in his first movie Vicky Donor, Ayushmann was seen dating a bong girl, portrayed by Yami Gautam.
