Ayushmann Khurrana, at the trailer launch of Dream Girl 2, was asked how his wife Tahira Kashyap Khurrana, son Virajveer and daughter Varushka reacted to his female avatar in the film. Ayushmann raised laughs as he revealed, “To begin with, my dog didn’t recognize me. That was the funniest part. I was like ‘Tumhe toh smell karke mere paas aa jaana chahiye’! But she didn’t recognize me. That probably happened as I put the girl's perfume. Main bahut zyada character mein chala gaya tha (smiles). I used to wear the perfume of my manager or make-up artist to get the correct feeling.”

He continued, “My wife and kids once came on the set and they couldn’t believe it was me. I said ‘Meri competition Ananya Panday hai. Mere saamne hi woh hai. Mujhe utna hi khoobsurat banna hai film ke andar’. Meri koshish wohi rahi hai. And my family was very proud of it.” Ananya felt quite touched on hearing this statement.

Apart from Ayushmann Khurrana and Ananya Panday, Dream Girl 2, which releases on August 25, also stars Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Annu Kapoor and Abhishek Banerjee. It is directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa and produced by Shobha Kapoor and Ektaa R Kapoor.
