A simple yet flamboyant, attractive yet natural, funny yet inspirational... a complete box of all Punjabi traits, perfectly define this young energetic multi-talented face of youth. For the first time, I noticed him in the Ekta Kapoor's daily soap "Kayamath" on Star Plus. A sweet little (short- heighted) young boy was trying to woo the main protagonist of the serial. Only then, I started following him, googling him, and came across many facts about him. I also get to know that, he was the famous peppy RJ with BIG FM 92.7 in the early morning show, "maan na maan, mein tera Ayushman" and he has also won roadies of season-2. (I am not much follower of roadies but like to watch its audition due to Raghu's blunt and I-am-the-boss satire for people with I-know-everything attitude on the one side and on the other, his caring and emotional side for weaker and honest people.)
He belongs to Chandigarh and is the son of the famous city astrologer P. Khuarana. He mentioned in one of his interviews that "my dad is numerologist and when, I got offer from roadies, my dad predicted my future and told me, if you (Ayushman) will go to Mumbai now, you will get success and will have great career ahead". Indeed, the words were pure truth!
I still remember, I mentioned my love for him to my best College pal in 2008, and she told me, "Ohh..!! you didnot tell me before, I have recently attended his event during my internship with Reliance. He is really cute and chivalrous. He asked me about my career dreams and how I am doing here?? Ohh!! Even, I admire him now..!! Don't worry Nandini, he is perfect for you!" Certainly, her words banged in my head for a week. Then, this passion for him augmented even more during his anchoring days for "India's got talent". I used to watch the entire episode looking at him. So young yet so natural, no wonder his anchoring prowess made him won many awards. Nikhil Channapa sometimes became invisible to me in front of him.
I was mesmerized, when I saw his dancing skills in "Just dance". Ya! he anchored the entire show and also presented the special dance performance for the jury and Hrithik, the dance icon of Bollywood hugged him and applauded him. I used to watch him and only watch him, and praise him for his effort-less humor skills, his anchoring skills, his dimples.. his smile.. and my family members always objected me over my craziness..
I have all eyes to watch his debut movie VICKY DONOR, in which he plays the lead role of professional sperm donor opposite Yami Gautam. He has also recently confessed of donating sperm once during MTV roadies in 2008, in an interview with Asian Age newspaper.
My heart still misses a beat, looking at his dimples! Way to go!!
