Ayushmann Khurrana's love story with his childhood sweetheart, Tahira Kashyap is one of the sweetest in B-town without a doubt. However, that's not to say that the couple's journey has always been smooth sailing. Given that Ayushmann and Tahira have known each other since the 12th standard, it's only natural for them to have had their share of ups and downs like any other couple. In a recent interview, Ayushmann opened up about the same and reflected on how becoming an overnight sensation caused him to neglect his personal life for a brief period.
Ayushmann Khurrana, who is much loved by fans for his versatile acting skills, recently sat down for a conversation with the Honestly Saying Podcast. During the same, the actor confessed that starting out in the entertainment industry at a young age made him neglect his personal life .

Your personal life takes a backseat. But, striking a balance is very important for family and relationships. I lost my mind after my first film."
In the same conversation, Ayushmann Khurrana also spoke about his relationship with his wife, Tahira Kashyap, back then and how it has evolved over time. The actor was asked if girls would flirt with him when he first became popular. Ayushmann responded by saying that Tahira was his girlfriend when he was in Pop Stars .

I have had a long journey from growing up in a patriarchal environment to now becoming a feminist. This could be possible because of my partner."
