Ayushmann Khurrana starred in two films last year, Andhadhun and Badhaai Ho. Surprisingly; both the films have won multiple awards at 66th National Film Awards. Ayushmann has received Best Actor award for his brilliant performance in Andhadhun.
On winning the National Award for Best Actor, Ayushmann says, “It’s truly humbling and hugely gratifying to win the coveted National Awards. As an artist, I have always tried to back disruptive content that stands out for its quality content. Today’s honour is a validation of my hard work, my belief system, my journey in movies and my reason to be an actor in the first place. Over and above my personal win, I’m thrilled that both the films that I have done - Andhadhun and Badhaai Ho have won at the prestigious National Awards. It again validates that people of our country want to see cinema that entertains, that they can cherish, discuss and endorse.”
While talking about Andhadhun, the actor said, “Andhadhun is a path-breaking film and Sriram Raghavan deserves all the accolades for creating a new genre of cinema for Indian audiences to enjoy. I have been truly fortunate to be a part of Sriram Raghvan’s vision and congratulate my director for his genius. As an artist, Andhadhun challenged me and I strongly feel it made me a better actor.”
Badhaai Ho has won Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment and Surekha Sikri ji has won Best Supporting Actress award for her performance in the film. Talking about the Amit Sharma directorial, Ayushmann said, “With Badhaai Ho again I took up a taboo topic because I believed that people would be ok to see this kind of cinema. I’m glad that a subject like Badhaai Ho also won big today and I congratulate my director Amit Sharma for his breakthrough script that became a talking point in every household. It was a pleasure to collaborate with a forward-thinking creative mind like him and again disrupt the stereotyped notions of what Hindi cinema should be.”
“I will continue on this journey to discover and back cinema that truly stands apart and brings people back into the theatres,” the actor concluded.
Ayushmann has some interesting films like Dream Girl, Bala, Gulabo Sitabo and Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan in his kitty.
