Ayushmann Khurrana visits UNICEF headquarters

UNICEF India National Ambassador and Bollywood actor, Ayushmann Khurrana, visited the UNICEF headquarters in New York to shoot for their global campaign targeting World Immunisation Week.

Talking about the same, Khurrana says, “It was an honour to visit the UNICEF headquarters to shoot a very important global campaign on the importance of immunisation. As a National Ambassador of UNICEF for India, I have been fortunate to lend my voice towards raising awareness on very critical issues that plague people. To be included to do my bit to tell everyone about the benefits of immunisation is the least that I can do to push this important message across to as many people as possible.”


He adds, “I’m committed to be a part of as many campaigns for UNICEF. I believe in the extraordinary and incredible work that UNICEF does, not just in my country but the world over. I’m very fortunate to be working closely alongside the India team that works tirelessly to aid my countrymen in need. I’m proud to always represent UNICEF anywhere across the world and I hope to have a lifelong association with them.”

At New York Headquarters, the actor also met senior UNICEF officials and UNICEF Director of Global Communication and Advocacy, Naysán Sahba, to discuss key initiatives and future collaborations. This visit underscores Ayushmann’s unwavering commitment as a UNICEF National Ambassador.

Here’s Khurrana's recorded message for UNICEF for the World Immunisation Week global initiative:

Ayushmann intends to passionately advocate for vaccine awareness, highlighting how, thanks to the collaborative efforts of healthcare workers and families worldwide, diseases like smallpox and polio have been eradicated, significantly reducing child mortality rates.
