Vaani Kapoor has every reason to be on cloud 9 these days as the actress has been gaining lot of praise for her smashing acting in Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui. Vaani’s sincere and skillful portrayal of a trans-woman on screen has won her many admirers as people hailed her decision to play a transgender person on screen as brave.

Vaani who is undoubtedly grateful for the success of the film thanked her co-star Ayushmann Khurrana for backing important scripts and for showing his faith in scripts like Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui that need to get made to start important conversations in India.

“It is gutsy for an A-list actor like Ayushmann to constantly put himself up for test when he could easily choose conventional subjects for success. From what I know of Ayushmann, he likes to walk on the road less travelled and that’s why he is so important in the landscape of Indian cinema today. He is a genre-bending, envelope-pushing star who is restless to contribute towards societal good. This is what makes him so endearing and incredibly unique,” Vaani was quoted saying.

Vaani further adds that “It was important that a film like Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui had Ayushmann so that it becomes palatable for family audiences. That’s how important Ayushmann is to Indian cinema today. He will stand by projects that are disruptive and important for people to ponder over. He has created a genre of his own today and there are not many stars in the history of Indian cinema who have managed to do this. I’m really glad I got to collaborate with him and connect with him. I hope Ayushmann stays on course and further challenges the status quo in the Indian film industry.”
