New Delhi: Actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who will soon be seen in Meri Pyaari Bindu, made a hilarious confession that he as a 19-year-old Abhimanyu Roy, his character in Meri Pyaari Bindu, looks 'far better than' what he looked like when he was of the same age. The actor shared a picture of himself as Abhimanyu and wrote: "This 19-year-old Abhimanyu Roy looks far better than the 19-year-old original me in 2003." Interestingly, it was when Ayushmann appeared in Roadies Sesaon 2 (2004), he was 19-years-old. He also won the season and became the second contestant to win after Ranvijay won Roadies Season 1. Ayushmann plays the role of a Bengali author in Meri Pyaari Bindu, also starring Parineeti Chopra.
