'My music isn't formulaic'- Ayushmann Khurrana

Talking about his approach to music, Ayushmann Khurrana said, "Like my movies, my music isn't formulaic. I don't conform as an artiste, and I would not like to do so ever. I have tried to stay true to my sense of creative expression through music, and I'm happy that people have accepted it and given me so much love. So, every time I make music, it will be different, disruptive, and extremely varied. That's what's exciting for me: to create something new every single time, not do what anyone else is doing, and not fall into the trap of following a trend. I would like to set a trend if possible. My movies and my music will always echo this belief that I have for myself."

Ayushmann Khurrana discusses his recent song Jachdi

Discussing his most recent track, "Jachdi," he said, "Music has always been my companion through the highs and lows of my life. It's what I live through every day. My new track 'Jachdi' is a perfect example of stepping out of my comfort zone to do something different - combining Punjabi tunes with Garba beats. In the future, I will continue to experiment with both my music and movies. The dhol beats and upbeat pop Punjabi perfectly bring out the festive spirit, and I hope people groove to it this Navratri season. I'm fortunate to have found love for both music and movies, and I thank everyone for being a constant support to my artistic endeavors."
