The year has been great for Ayushmann, who grabbed the Best Actor Critics for Bala and Article 15. The National Award-winning actor penned a poem after the win. He wrote, "Paaon zameen par rakhe mere, rooh kabhi na maghroor thi; Parvaaz aisi dee mujhe, jo mere takhayyul se bhi duur thi. -Ayushmann (Takhayyul = imagination)
