Jitendra said: "I met Ayushmann way back in 2009 when I was a student in IIT Kharagpur, he had come to cover a fest on behalf of MTV. The fest was called 'Springfest' and we were huge fan of Roadies, where we all met him & clicked photographs with him.

"We ended up reaching his room once we found and it was our first year and he was very welcoming towards us.
