Singer Falguni Pathak offered a heartwarming explanation to actor Ayushmann Khurrana for her seemingly ageless appearance — her fans simply won't let her grow up. The exchange took place during the promotional festivities for Ayushmann's upcoming film 'Yeh Prem Mol Liya' at Falguni Pathak's Mumbai garba night on 19 October 2026, held as part of the Navratri celebrations.

The Playful Exchange

Ayushmann opened the conversation with a playful jibe, telling Falguni: 'Pehle, Falguni ji ye bataiye ki aap 16 saalo se same kaisi dikhti hain? Hum bachpan se bade ho gaye hain, aap bachpan mein hi jee rahe hain abhi tak!' — roughly translating to: 'First, Falguni ji, tell us how you have managed to look the same for the past 16 years. We have grown up since childhood, but you seem to be living in your childhood even today!'

The Dandiya Queen responded with characteristic warmth: 'Yeh log mujhe bada hone nahi dete!' ('They don't let me grow up!') — referring to her devoted fanbase.

Ayushmann then added, 'Aapka music hai inke paas, bade kabhi ho hi nahi sakte. Ek kalakaar ke liye baccha bane rehna hamesha bahot zaroori hota hai.' ('They have your music with them, so they can never really grow up. For an artist, it is very important to always retain their childlike spirit.') The remark drew a warm response from the audience gathered at the venue.

Film Promotion and the 'Jai Ambe Bol' Song

The occasion was also an opportunity for Ayushmann and co-star Sharvari to spotlight the festive track 'Jai Ambe Bol' from the film, which Ayushmann described as a first-of-its-kind offering. He said: 'Pehli baar aapko ek devotional song nazar aayega in garba form in Hindi cinema.' ('For the first time in Hindi cinema, audiences will get to see a devotional song presented in the garba format.')

The film, directed by Sooraj R. Barjatya and bankrolled by Rajshri Productions, is slated for release on 27 November 2026. Ayushmann expressed enthusiasm, saying the team was 'very excited' about the release and that audiences may already have heard the first song from the film.

Sharvari's Invitation to Families

Co-star Sharvari echoed the festive spirit, extending an open invitation to fans: 'Sabhi ko pata hain ki Sooraj sir ki jo filmein hoti hain wo theatres ko ghar bana deti hain. Toh aap poore parivaar ko yeh film dekhne zaroor aaiyega.' ('Everyone knows that Sooraj sir's films make theatres feel like home. So, do come and watch this film with your entire family.')

The remark aligns with Rajshri Productions' long-standing identity as a purveyor of family entertainers — a brand Barjatya has cultivated across films like 'Maine Pyar Kiya', 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!', and 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo'.

A Traditional Evening at the Garba Celebrations

The evening opened with Ayushmann and Sharvari visiting the goddess's shrine to offer prayers, both dressed in traditional attire. The two performed the rituals before joining Falguni Pathak and other guests for the garba celebrations. They later took to the stage to greet the audience gathered to mark Navratri.

With its release date less than six weeks away, 'Yeh Prem Mol Liya' is entering its final promotional stretch — and the Navratri event offered the team a culturally resonant platform to connect with audiences ahead of the festive season.
