Mumbai: Ayushmann Khurrana ticked off one of his long-time wishes of performing the magical Ganga Aarti at Varanasi last evening. A dream he has been harbouring since his college days, Ayushmann felt blissful soaking in the experience.

Ayushmann tells, “It was a surreal moment for me to do my first Ganga Aarti at Varanasi. I had always wanted to experience this moment and had thought about it since my college. I’m delighted that every single thing worked out for me to perform the Ganga Aarti. I won’t ever forget this. It was an extremely peaceful, magical and soulful feeling for me.”

The actor calls himself deeply spiritual and adds, “I call myself deeply spiritual and it is a strange and lovely coincidence that before the release of my last few films, I ended up being at a place known for its spirituality. Before Dream Girl’s release, I was at Lalbaug, before Badhaai Ho’s release I was at Vaishno Devi. It’s a lovely coincidence and I hope I get to experience such places even more.”

On the work front, Ayushmann will be next seen in director Amar Kaushik's 'Bala', alongside Bhumi Pednekar and Yami Gautam. The film is slated to release on November 8.
