Actress Sumbul Touqeer revealed she was extremely nervous working with Ayushmann Khurrana in "Article 15".

Talking exclusively to IANS, she added that the 'Vicky Donar' actor made her feel very comfortable on the set, which made it a great working experience for her.

Sumbul was asked, "You have worked with Ayushmann Khurrana at a young age. How was that experience?"

Praising Ayushmann for his acting prowess, 'Bigg Boss 16' contestant shared, "He is an amazing actor and a wonderful person. I was very young at the time and quite nervous performing with him. But he made me feel very comfortable on set. Most of my scenes were with him, and it turned out to be a great learning experience."

"Article 15", directed and produced by Anubhav Sinha, shares the journey of a police detective who is investigating the disappearance of three girls from a small village, uncovering a history of caste-based oppression.

With Ayushmann as the lead, the project also starred Nassar, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, Isha Talwar, Sayani Gupta, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Sushil Pandey, Veen Harsh, and Sumbul Touqeer as the ancillary cast.

Backed under the banner of Benaras Media Works along with Zee Studios, "Article 15" saw camera work by Ewan Mulligan and editing by Yasha Ramchandani.

Sumbul Touqeer commenced her acting journey as a child in shows such as "Har Mushkil Ka Hal Akbar Birbal ", "Jodha Akbar", "Aahat", "Gangaa", "Baalveer", and "Mann Mein Vishwaas Hai".

She has also been a part of many series such as "Waaris", "Chakradhari Ajay Krishna", "Chandragupta Maurya", and "Ishaaron Ishaaron Mein".

However, Sumbul became a household name as she played the role of a village girl in the popular show "Imlie". The drama also featured Gashmeer Mahajani, Fahmaan Khan, and Mayuri Deshmukh in the lead.

Honestly, I think Sumbul was underutilized in 'Article 15'. The movie was powerful—about caste oppression—but her role could have been meatier. Still, great to see she had a positive experience with Ayushmann. He's a class act.

Love how humble Sumbul is! Even after 'Bigg Boss 16' fame, she still speaks so respectfully about her co-stars. Ayushmann seems like a genuinely nice guy too—no wonder he's one of Bollywood's most beloved actors right now.

I remember watching 'Imlie' with my mom—Sumbul was so good as a village girl! Now she's sharing screen space with Ayushmann. Talk about a glow-up! 😍 She deserves all the success coming her way.

'Article 15' was one of those rare Bollywood films that actually made you think. Ayushmann and Sumbul both did justice to the subject matter. I wish more actors would take up such socially relevant projects instead of mindless masala films.

Interesting to see how young actors in India are getting opportunities alongside big stars. Sumbul's journey from child actor to 'Bigg Boss' fame to now being in a critically acclaimed film is truly remarkable. Respect for her growth!
