Ayushmann Khurrana's film 'Doctor G' is finally out in the theatres and the actor is busy promoting it these days. The film stars Ayushmann in the role of a Doctor who finds himself misplaced in gynaecology department of a hospital. 'Doctor G' addresses ideas such as patriarchy and gender stereotypes and features Ayushmann as a chauvinistic character who doesn't realise his biases.
In a recent interview with ETimes, the actor shared how his real personality is a far cry from his character and credited women in his life for making him an open minded and considerate man. Ayushmann stated, It all depends on the kind of women and people you are surrounded with in your life. My grand-mom was a pure artiste, she would sing at the gurudwara, and was interested in various art forms. She would appreciate cinema, too. My grandfather was very strict, so she would take her five sons to the theatre to watch movies. She was a huge Raj Kapoor and Dev Anand fan, and she would mimic actors. I have never seen a woman of that age mimic actors, she was ahead of her times.
Ayushmann further added, My mother, who taught me Hindi, would really motivate me to take part in debates, especially in Hindi. I was in an all-boys school and college, and then I met Tahira, and she made a gentleman out of me. I really thank these women for shaping my life.
