Ayushmann Khurrana has always been inspired by the legendary Kishore Kumar. Just like Kumar, Khurrana is also an actor and a singer. The ‘Bala' actor has shared a lot of videos on his Instagram account where he can be seen singing the icon's classic and unforgettable songs. And today, being his 92nd birth anniversary, had to be something equally special.

The actor-singer shared a video on his Instagram account with fans and wrote a note that showed his love for the iconic singer and passion for his legendary music. He wrote- "Happy birthday Kishor da! You don't sleep the entire night and then record this early in the morning. And you don't get sleep coz it's Kishor da's birthday. And I'm in his state MP! Bhopal is treating me well. Khandwa, his birthplace is just two hours away from here."

He added, "And pls welcome @akshayvarma04 , my musician friend, who trained me with the piano in Andhadhun. And now he's training me with the dialect for Doctor G! As of now "Tu jo kahe jeewan bhar tere liye main gaaoon." The song of an artiste who is immortal." [SIC]
