Time acknowledged Khurrana’s contribution to the world of cinema, saying, “Ayushmann Khurrana is a Bollywood star like no other.
At the Global Time 100 Impact Awards ceremony held on Sunday night, Ayushmann delivered a speech that drew from the Hindu philosophy scripture Bhagavad Gita. Emphasizing the essence of selfless action, he said, “karmanye vadhikaraste ma phaleshu kadachana, ma karma phal hetur bhurmate sangostva akarmani”.
