Ayushmann Khurrana
Ayushmann Khurrana poked fun at himself on social media for his soaring list of brand endorsements. The actor posted, "These days my Instagram page looks like a catalogue for advertisements." Khurrana has been on an endorsement overdrive with seven brands in his kitty in the past few months. He's laughing all the way to the bank too.
On the work front, Ayushmann Khurrana is undergoing a drastic physical transformation for his upcoming romantic drama co-starring Vaani Kapoor and directed by Abhishek Kapoor. The actor, last week, posted an Instagram picture, where he is seen lifting weights. His face remains concealed in the snapshot. "It's going to be a different me in this different film. Movie prep going strong @gattukapoor," Ayushmann wrote.

Ayushmann has been listed in the Artists category, which also includes Oscar-winning Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho, "Fleabag" creator and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Hollywood star Michael B. Jordan, besides pop music superstars Selena Gomez, J. Balvin and Jennifer Hudson.
Great going, Ayushmann!
