On a related note, Ayushmann had earlier disclosed how the late singer-actor had inspired him throughout his life and career.

The star, who made his Bollywood debut with 'Vicky Donor', also revealed his single biggest regret, on the occasion of Guru Purnima, which was celebrated recently. Ayushmann said, "It is my single biggest regret that I didn't get the opportunity to meet him and seek his blessings but, through his music, I'm blessed to understand his brilliance." Kishore Kumar, who was born on August 4, 1929, was a man with multiple talents. Other than being the most accomplished singer of his time, he was also a screenwriter, actor, composer, director, and producer.
