EXCLUSIVE: Ayushmann Khurrana busts this myth of being a gynaceologist; says, “I have this feeling that men’s sex life goes for a toss” : Bollywood News

Known for playing unconventional roles, Ayushmann Khurrana experimented with yet another character in Doctor G. Aspiring to be an orthodontist, the character of this actor is forced to take up gynaceology owing to circumstances. But being a male in a female dominated profession can be quite difficult, especially considering the relationship of a doctor and patient. While it is often considered that women are more comfortable with female gynaceologists, the film aims at breaking such stereotypes and also showcase different aspects of a male gynaceologist. In a recent candid chat with Bollywood Hungama, Ayushmann Khurrana also elaborated on different myths associated with the profession and how it changed with him essaying this role.

EXCLUSIVE: Ayushmann Khurrana busts this myth of being a gynaceologist; says, “I have this feeling that men’s sex life goes for a toss”

In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Ayushmann Khurrana spoke about a particular scene in Doctor G where he reacts to a picture of a uterus. The actor said, “In the film, there’s one scene where Dr. Nandini aka Shefali Shah shows me a diagram of a uterus. So I get a little cringy like ‘kya hai yeh’ (what is this?) I had this feeling that probably men’s sex life will go for a toss if they become a gynac; because they are so close to women’s reproductive parts. But that’s not the case at all! I met a doctor (gynac) who told me, ‘Meri sex life bahut achhi hai aur mere do bachhe bhi hain’ (I have a great sex life and I have two kids too). And I say ‘aap mahaan ho bhai’ (you are great)”

Readers would be aware that the film talks about losing the male touch. Adding further about the challenges that a man may or may not face while being a part of this profession, Ayushmann shared, “It’s your gaze and how you see women in general. It depends on each individual. You have to be neutral somewhere and draw that boundary. When you are so close to a woman, it completely depends on you.”

Doctor G, also starring Rakul Preet Singh, released on October 14 and is directed by Anubhuti Kashyap.
