'Dream Girl 2', featuring Ayushmann Khurrana and Ananya Panday, has hit theaters. Unlike his previous romantic-comedy role, Ayushmann takes on a braver character this time. Playing a role completely unrelatable proved to be a significant challenge. In the film, Ayushmann not only speaks like a woman but also dresses up and lives as one, which was demanding.

Ayushmann's portrayal of Pooja will be under scrutiny as reviews from both critics and fans start to emerge. Despite Pooja's popularity, Ayushmann isn't promoting the film in that avatar due to the time-consuming transformation process. He revealed that his beard growth requires frequent grooming, making the transition difficult. The challenges he faced included the scorching heat of Mathura while wearing wigs and makeup.
Ananya, listening to Ayushmann's account, humorously empathized with the process that women go through regularly. Ayushmann shared a dialogue from the film that encapsulated the essence of this difficulty. Ayushmann and Ananya's on-screen pairing and their age difference were also addressed. Ayushmann emphasized that the script's quality is the most important factor in their dynamic.
