Ayushmann Khurana Poses With ‘Kashmir Ki Kali’ Sharmila Tagore

Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana has carved out his own niche in the Hindi film industry, starring in unconventional films that differ from the usual masala films. His movie choices have made him a huge fan favorite. And his latest film, Action Hero, also digresses from the formulaic concept and pays homage to the epic cinema of the 80s. Ayushman may have met many fans on numerous occasions, but he recently had a fanboy moment after bumping into veteran actress Sharmila Tagore.

Ayushman shared a photo of their chance encounter on his Instagram story with the caption, “Meeting the legendary Sharmila Tagore Maam.” He also added Evergreen his song Isharon Isharon Mein from Sharmila’s iconic film Kashmir Ki Kali to the post. Ayushman didn’t say where he crossed paths with the legendary actress, but the background of the photo suggests it could be an airport.

Sharmila Tagore was one of the most popular actresses of the 60’s and 70’s. She was the first actress to marry the late Mansur Ali Khan her Pataudi and start the trend of romantic connections between actresses and cricketers. She was also the first Indian woman to wear a bikini publicly, donning one for a Filmfare photo shoot in 1966. Her daughter Soha Ali Khan, her son-in-law Kunal Kem and granddaughter Sara Ali Khan are all popular actors.

Meanwhile, Ayushmann’s An Action Hero, which released on December 2nd, did poorly at the box office. Before action heroes, he appeared in Doctor G, which also failed to impress audiences. The film also stars Ananya Pandey, Paresh Rawal, Vijay Raz, Asrani and Annu Kapoor.
