P Khurana was a renowned astrologer

Ayushmann and Aparshakti’s father was a very popular astrologer in North India. He had also written a few books in the field and was highly respected for his contributions. He also had a very sound music sense.

Sharing a video of his father playing a flute sometimes back, Aparshakti Khurana had said that he gets his music sense from him. He had written, “ Jamming all the stress away with papa who has been a HUGE Dev Anand fan. Yaad Kiya Dil Ne Kahan Ho Tum is even more special because it’s sung by the legends, Hemant Kumar Saab and Lata Mangeshkar Ji. Hope you like it. P.S – clearly we get our music from him (sic)”.
