With Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, Ayushmann Khurrana aims to raise awareness around homosexuality

In a recent interview, the actor shared how his perspective towards the LGBTQ community evolved with time and how he slowly came to understand the kind of stigma, taboo and judgments the community is often subjected to. He also emphasises that it was important that he backed a film like Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan that encourages us to be more inclusive and would hopefully help raise awareness around homosexuality too. The actor is also of the opinion that irrespective of who they are and whom they love, human beings are worthy of being treated with equality.
