Ayushmann Khurrana, who began his acting career with the National Award-winning Shoojit Sircar directorial Vicky Donor (2012), has established himself as one of the most versatile actors in the Hindi film industry. With each passing year, he is successfully adding some remarkably different films to his repertoire.
Khurrana is presently enjoying the huge success of his latest film Article 15 (2019). Directed by Anubhav Sinha, the thought-provoking film sheds light on various issues plaguing Indian society, including cast discrimination, inequality, rape, etc. Interestingly, Article 15 is not the only film which the actor has done to bring forth a relevant topic. Khurrana’s filmography is replete with such movies.
“I guess I am now identified with relevant cinema, and that is a place I enjoy occupying. When I started, I was not a stranger to socio-political relevance in my work. I had done a serious issue-based theatre before films. So Vicky Donor, Shubh Mangal Savdhaan (2017), Badhaai Ho (2018) and Article 15 was a natural progression from one medium to another,” says the talented actor.
When asked if the overwhelming response to his latest hit Article 15 surprised him, the actor replies, “Not really. We expected the film to kick up a controversy and knew it would ruffle feathers. The caste system is something that has bothered me for a long time. Inequality in society is a subject that cinema has never dealt with fairly; it has always been hush-hush. Anubhav sir brought it out into the open,” he concludes.
Currently, Ayushmann Khurrana has a number of exciting films in his pocket which will only strengthen his position in the industry further. Some of his forthcoming films include Bala, Dream Girl, Gulabo Sitabo, and Shubh Mangal Zyada Savdhan.
Perry's onstage quip about "Englishmen" felt like a deliberate signal.
Those yacht photos are, frankly, undeniable.
It started with a Montreal dinner most people missed.
Both are out of long-term relationships.
Well, she’s as good as confirmed it, hasn’t she? Katy Perry just tossed a verbal grenade into her London concert, and the pieces all point to Justin Trudeau. That line about Englishmen? You do not say that by accident. It lands just days after those, let's face it, pretty steamy pictures of them surfaced on her boat. This Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau thing is suddenly feeling very real, shifting from rumours to a full-blown celebrity romance.

So what did she actually say?
Mid-show at the O2, looking out at the crowd, she hits them with this: "London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night?... No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time."
Pause.
Then came the kicker: "...but not anymore." The place erupts. It was too specific, too perfectly timed. And then, almost as if scripted, some fan proposes to her. Her comeback was: "I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago." What is that, if not a nod to a new, serious someone?
Let’s talk about the yacht. The Daily Mail got those shots and, while grainy, the story they tell is crystal clear. The photos were taken off the coast of Santa Barbara, on her 78-foot Caravelle. He is pulling her in, kissing her cheek. His hand was on her backside in another frame. This follows that low-key Montreal dinner in July that almost flew under the radar.

Where does this leave everyone?
Right, let us look at the context. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom only finalised their split recently, with the co-parenting news coming out in July. Justin Trudeau’s marriage to Sophie Grégoire also ended last year. Both are prominent figures with busy lives who have only just become single. Sources are already saying he has been "persistent," flying to see her on tour breaks. It has the feel of something that is accelerating fast. And Perry, with that London comment, seems ready to let it.
