Ayushmann Khurrana: I Use My Social Media to Draw Attention to Future Disruptors

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana says he follows a lot of young poets, singers, performing artistes and dancers who are yet to burst onto the scene and tries using his social media to draw attention to these artistes. "I follow a lot of incredible young poets, singers, performing artistes, dancers who are yet to burst onto the scene and I'm always awed by their talent. So, I try and use my social media to draw attention to these really fantastic artists who I feel are the future disruptors. The reason for doing so is rooted in my past," said Ayushmann. Ayushmann Khurrana: I’m A Firm Believer That The Pandemic And Lockdowns Have Made Us More Opinionated.

He has been doing this since 2019, and has used the pandemic to actively discover and endorse such talent. "When I was looking to make a name for myself, I didn't have the power of social media to put myself out there. I didn't have the ways to get the opportunities I could have got years back. So, I feel if we all can use our social media as a platform to bring out some of the best talents, we would be doing right by our country and the genius it has to offer," he said. Ayushmann believes India has a wealth of talent that needs to be discovered more aggressively. Ayushmann Khurrana Gets Nostalgic About His College Days, Says He Was ‘University Ka Most Famous Guy’.
