We are indebted for all your prayers and support during this time of personal loss.”

In an Instagram post of 2021, Ayushmann penned a sweet note for his father, recounting how his zeal for astrology affected the actor’s own life. Ayushmann said that his dad studied law but chose to be an astrologer. “We got it from him. The discipline. The love for music, poetry, films and art. He studied law but was always intrigued by astrology. He’s the reason behind the double ns and double rs in my name. At the same time he also taught us that we have the ability to carve out our own destiny and our good karma can supersede any soothsayer. My friend, philosopher and guide. My father @astrologer.pkhurrana,” he wrote.
