Poet, philosopher, singer, actor… one man several facets… Rahul Gangwani catches up with the man of the hour Ayushmann Khaurrna
He’s an outsider who’s made sharp inroads. Apart from talent, he possesses a discerning eye. To sieve the chaff from the grain. He prides over his sense of script and a ear for a good story. Early in his career, he understood the importance of being different to be noticed amidst a surge of clones.
