I always used to feel I am a Bengali in a Punjabi: Ayushmann Khurrana

Imagine Ayushmann Khurrana in a dhoti-kurta, speaking in Bengali. He will surely sound as sweet as Misti Doi. The Punjabi-born, during the launch event of the song Ye Jawaani Teri, from his upcoming film Meri Pyaari Bindu, said, "I always used to feel I am a Bengali- a Bengali in a Punjabi."

This statement came after his co-star Parineeti Chopra told media here that Ayushmann learnt a lot of Bengali in this movie."Ayushmann learnt a lot of Bengali in this movie. He has turned half Bengali," she said.

During the event, the Dum Laga Ke Haisha actor even said a sentence or two as a proof. While describing the movie Meri Pyaari Bindu, he said, "This story is more than Premer Golpo, which means the movie is more than just a love story."

He even said a dialogue from the movie, "Bindu Shankar Narayanan- ek kathae bola jete pare bipod, which means Bindu Shankar Narayanan- in one word is trouble." However he has not spoken much in Bengali in the movie, other than the conversation with his parents.

On a related note, in his first movie Vicky Donor, Ayushmann was seen dating a bong girl, portrayed by Yami Gautam. Meri Pyaari Bindu, directed by Akshay Roy, is slated to release on May 12.
