Ayushmann wants to start radio station in Rishikesh

Actor-singer Ayushmann Khurrana is so much in love with Rishikesh that he wants to settle there and run a radio station.

The "Paani da" crooner is busy shooting for Sharat Katariya's "Dum laga ke haisha" in the holy towns of Haridwar and Rishikesh.

"I feel one with this city. I feel one with self. Can stay here forever. Probably run a radio station for Rishikesh next to the Ganga," Ayushmann, whose brother Aparshakti Khurrana a radio jockey, tweeted Friday.

"Haridwar stinks of religion. Rishikesh has an air of spirituality. No wonder the Beatles (British band) visited this place in 1968 for transcendental meditation," he added.
