We never realized when did Ayushmann Khurrana turn from a Roadies winner to a national-award winner just like that! The Bollywood star started different by choosing different scripts and ended up making the same thing his USP. Not just acting or hosting, the man with dimples also impressed the fans and non-fans with his soulful voice and poetry. In his initial few years of filmy career, he cashed in entirely on his singing ability. He knew his songs could create a buzz and they did, rightly.

Later on, his films became more of the out of the box stories and somewhere, his singles and playback singing got left behind. He did recently sing an extended version of a romantic song for Article 15, obviously because the script didn’t demand it. However, somewhere the singer in him still has an appetite to croon tracks and hence that song. Even though he hasn’t much-paid attention to his own voice lately, as a singer, his fans are sure very much still in love with it. Here’s looking back at some of the songs that he sang that are still played during a rainy night, boring commute or when-in-love!

Pani Da

Saddi Galli

Yahi Hoon Main

Mitti Di Khushboo

O Heeriye

These tracks are like those golden pages from his film book that the fans who have seen him debuting will never forget. To be honest, these songs made him what he is, and we wonder if the impact of Ayushmann Khurrana would be the same if had he just been surviving on his ability to choose the right scripts. Maybe yes, mostly no! On his birthday, we would like to wish a musical year ahead rather than a filmy year, because no one can anyway stop him from growing as an actor! Happy Birthday, Ayushmann!
