During a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, when Ayushmann was asked about being complimented by Hrithik Roshan and being appreciated by so many other artists, he said, “It is surreal. I think it was just a step-by-step journey, which I really enjoyed, and picked up scripts, which were great and backed by great filmmakers and scriptwriters. But it's been quite a journey and the journey is still going on. You learn every day and with every film, and it came as a great validation when Hrithik Roshan tweeted."

“He (Hrithik) called me. We spoke for half an hour. And he's like, ‘I am inspired and you’ve done such a great job, how do you talk with your eyes’ and I had nothing to say because it's Hrithik Roshan. I've seen him since my school days and you know Kaho Na Pyaar Hai running houseful and suddenly, he gives you a call. I was also an anchor on a dance show where he was a judge in 2011. There was a dance on a GEC channel called Just Dance and I was the anchor and he was the judge so we go back a long way. He has seen my journey and he was also very emotional and I got really emotional. I had tears in my eyes, I don't know what to say seriously,” he added.
