Ayushmann Khurrana, a Bollywood actor, stirred controversy on social media when a video of him singing Pakistan’s famous song ‘Dil Dil Pakistan’ surfaced online. The viral clip shows Ayushmann humming the tune during a performance.
The instance occurred after Ayushmann, alongside other notable Bollywood figures, attended the opening ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. The star-studded event featured actors such as Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, and Ayushmann Khurrana.
The Indians were for sure not happy with the viral clip as they took to Twitter to bash the actor for his poor conscience. However, there is more to the story.

As fans, we look up to celebrities for inspiration. Ayushmann Khurrana's choice to sing "Dil Dil Pakistan" during a sensitive time raises questions.
