Ayushmann Khurrana further stated, “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 ❤️🙏🏽”

The Vicky Donor star in an interview with Hindustan Times shared, “He’s the reason behind the double Ns and double Rs in my name” while opening up about the spelling change in his name. He further shared, “After all, my father has been an astrologer since before I was born. In fact, this trend (spelling names differently) came quite late (in the rest of the country), and even later in Mumbai.”
Meanwhile, earlier today, the Khurana family released a statement on P Khurana’s sudden demise that read, “It’s with our deep sadness to inform that Ayushmann and Aparshakti Khurana’s father, Astrologer P Khurana passed away this morning at 10:30 am in Mohali, owing to a prolonged incurable ailment. We are indebted for all your prayers and support during this time of personal loss.”
May his soul rest in peace, and god give Ayushmann Khurrana and his family strength.
