Ayushmaan Khurrana in Time’s 100 Most Influential List, Deepika Padukone Writes Fitting Note

Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana has made it to ‘Time’s 100 Most Influential People of 2020’ list. He is the only Indian actor to be on the list this year. Lauding him for taking up unconventional roles and subduing “stereotypical masculinity” in his films, actress Deepika Padukone wrote a fitting note for the actor.

Recalling her first meeting with Ayushmann, Deepika 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.”
