No wonder he's so upset to see #RamMandir.

The claim
Days after Ayushmann returned to Mumbai, a video of Ayushmaan performing at an event went viral.
In the video, Ayushmann is singing Dil Dil Pakistan.
The said clip has caused an uproar on social media.
Fact Check
Did Ayushmann sing Dil Dil Pak after coming from Ayodhya? Here's the truth.
Users on X (formerly known as Twitter) condemned Ayushmann's act, expressing that some Bollywood celebrities can go to extreme lengths for money. It is to be noted that Dil Dil Pakistan is a patriotic Pakistani song, and it has been hailed as an unofficial national anthem of Pakistan.
The video dates back to 2017.
Ayushmann's PR (Public Relations) team said that the clip was from a concert that happened in Dubai back in 2017. During the performance, Ali Zafar and Ayushmann Khurrana gave live performances. The concert was a celebration of harmony between the two countries.
A longer version of the video shows the actor giving tribute to people from different states and regions, such as Punjabi, Uttar Pradesh, Bengali, and South India. After this, he performed Dil Dil Pakistan and Chak De India along with his brother Aparshakti Khurrana.
The video of the concert was shared on the YouTube channel Selfie TV with the caption, "Ayushman Khurana Giving Tribute to all Asian countries through his Punjabi singing in Dubai."
