Known for starring in some unconventional films such as Vicky Donor (2011), Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015) and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (2017), talented actor Ayushmann Khurrana welcomed the much-awaited decision by India’s apex court which decriminalized gay sex, reading down an archaic law (Section 377), which made homosexual activities a crime in India.
“I feel the SC’s decision regarding Section 377 is historic, to say the least, and it was long overdue. The decision shows that the nation is getting progressive in its thoughts. Perhaps it will strengthen our belief in the judicial system. But then, there are smaller battles yet to be fought. Those will only be won when everyone understands the social implications of the SC’s decision and accepts it wholeheartedly,” said Khurrana.
While many mainstream actors in Bollywood shy away from playing gay characters onscreen, Ayushmann does not have any issue if some filmmaker approaches him to star in a film which touches upon the issue of homosexuality. The actor said that it’s important to make films on such subjects.
Talking about Khurrana’s upcoming projects, he will shortly be seen in Sriram Raghvan’s mystery thriller Andhadhun, followed by Amit Sharma’s family entertainer Badhaai Ho.
