Ayushmann Khurrana is the only Indian actor to make it to the Time 100 this year. He has been listed as one of the 100 most Influential People Of 2020. The multitalented actor took to his social media pages and shared the happy news. He wrote, "TIME's list of the 100 Most Influential People in the world is out, I'm honoured to be a part of this group: time.com/time100
@TIME #TIME100."

Deepika Padukone penned a tribute to Ayushmann and praised him for his talent and hard work which has made him a big star in the country right now. Sharing about her first interaction with Khurrana, Padukone wrote, "I remember Ayushmann Khurrana vividly from his debut film, Vicky Donor. He had, of course, been a part of the entertainment industry in various other ways for several years before that, but the reason you and I talk about him today is because of the impact he has been able to create through memorable films and iconic characters. Where male protagonist roles often fall into the trap of stereotypical masculinity, Ayushmann has successfully and convincingly transformed into characters who challenge those very stereotypes."

Meanwhile, Deepika further wrote, "In India, with a population of more than 1.3 billion, only a tiny percentage of people see their dreams come alive, and Ayushmann Khurrana is one of them. You’re probably wondering, How? Talent and hard work. Sure, that goes without saying. But more important, patience, perseverance and fearlessness. A little insight for those who dare to dream."

Whereas Ayushmann expressed his happiness in a statement. The actor said, "I'm truly humbled with the recognition that TIME has bestowed on me. As an artiste, I have only looked to contribute towards bringing a positive change in society through cinema and this moment is a huge validation of my belief system and my journey. I have always believed that cinema has the power to bring about change by triggering the right conversations among people and society. Hopefully, through my content choices, I have been able to contribute towards my country and countrymen."
