Ayushmann Khurrana has had a fulfilling 2017 when it comes to the professional front. While ‘Meri Pyari Bindu’ failed to impress at the box-office, Ayushmann gave two back-to-back hits with Bareilly Ki Barfi and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan. 2017 also marks the actor's fifth year in Bollywood. On this, Ayushmann said to a leading daily, "I am glad that the fifth year proved great. I hope every year turns out to be like that and that I keep making right choices. But 2017 has been a blessing, thanks to all the characters that I portrayed."

Speaking candidly about Meri Pyaari Bindu not bringing in the box-office numbers and the impact it had on him, the actor continued, "In our profession, anything can happen but at the same me, an actor has to just go with his or her intuition and gut; and grow as an artist."

"All you can do is be conscious of the choices you make, and give your best as an actor. That's why the cumulative response to Bareilly Ki Barfi and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan was very satisfying," he added.

When quizzed about 2018, Ayushmann revealed, "Of course, you expect things to happen as smoothly as it happened in 2017. For starters, I have made a radical choice with Sriram Raghavan’s next. I’ve already made a mark as a boy-next-door so, it’s high time that I reveal my dark side now (laughs). Then, I’ve Badhaai Ho, with which I am going back to the quirky space that, I feel, I own by now."
