Ayushmann looks back
In an interview on the Honestly Saying Podcast, Ayushmann spoke about being a father and his childhood memories. “I became a father in my 20s. In fact, Vicky Donor was released when I was already a father. It was very different. Both me and Tahira (Kashyap, filmmaker) evolved together because we were very young parents. The best part is that I have a daughter. You become a better person. Daughters teach you to be more empathetic,” said Ayushmann.
