If there’s an author backed negative role, I’d love to do it, says Ayushmann Khurrana!

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who started his career with the National Award winning film, Vicky Donor and went on to prove his acting mettle with Dum Laga Ke Haisha, has mostly appeared in movies that have him playing a romantic character. He has hardly tried his hand on a negative or, for that matter, a grey character in his career so far.

But when we asked the actor that if given a choice, would he like to take up an out-and-out negative character, he said, "I would love to do it. In fact, I got a lot of awards in a play called Andha Yug, which is written by Dharmveer Bharti. I played Ashwatthama’s character in it. Ashwatthama is completely grey. He is a savage in that play. Nobody can picturise me like that. If given a chance there is an author backed negative character, I would love to do it.”


Khurrana also revealed some beans on one of his upcoming films, which is being directed by Sriram Raghavan. “In my next film, Sriram Raghavan's film, I'm playing a grey character. I am looking forward to that,” he adds.

Ayushmann Khurrana is gearing up for the release of his romantic comedy film, Bareilly Ki Barfi, which is scheduled to release on 18th August. Directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, the film also stars Kriti Sanon and Rajkummar Rao in key roles.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
