Ayushmann Khurrana pens special message on Republic Day

Ayushmann Khurrana's latest social media post spreads a message of equality. In his republic day post, the actor is seen holding the Indian flag alongside the pride flag.

Mumbai: Actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who is awaiting the release of his next flick Subh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, has penned a special message for fans and followers as India clocked its 71st Republic Day on Sunday.

Equality came as a part of Khurrana's Republic day post. The actor took to his Instagram handle to post a picture of himself.

Donning a white kurta and blue jeans, the Dream Girl actor is seen waving India's national flag on one hand and the pride flag on the other.

He wrote in the caption of the picture: "Let equality triumph! Let's make this year all about spreading, sharing, and receiving love!"

It is quite evident that the actor wants his upcoming release Subh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan to become the medium for societal change.

The film which is a light-hearted comedy can be seen as a progressive attempt towards the acceptance of same-sex couples. The film holds a mirror to the issue that continues to remain a taboo in India even after a year of its decriminalisation by the Supreme Court.

The romantic comedy flick with a powerful message is slated to hit the big screens on February 21, 2020.
