Ayushmann
Khurrana
is
turning
the
tied
with
his
portrayal
of
a
gay
man
in
the
trailer
of
upcoming
film,
Shubh
Mangal
Zyada
Saavdhan.
Directed
by
Hitesh
Kewalya,
the
film
follows
a
gay
couple
as
they
find
their
way
to
a
happy
ending
after
a
family
feud
and
an
almost
wedding.
The
trailer
starts
with
Ayushmann's
character
Kartik
possibly
heading
to
his
boyfriend
Aman's
house,
when
a
relative
starts
questioning
about
his
decision
to
become
gay,
and
Ayushmann's
response
is
exactly
what
sets
the
tone
of
the
trailer
and
hopefully
the
film.
He
says,
'when
did
you
decide
you
didn't
want
to
be
gay?'.
Shubh
Mangal
Zyada
Saavdhan,
is
making
the
LGBTQA+
proud
because
of
the
Kartik
and
Aman's
portrayal.
They
are
not
the
usual
stereotype
that
you
are
used
to
seeing
in
cinematic
history.
Kartik
and
Aman
are
regular
people
who
do
not
fit
into
boxes
and
have
their
own
unique
personality.
Kartik
has
a
flair
for
drama,
but
who
doesn't?
He
is
seen
donning
the
rainbow
cape
proudly,
in
several
scenes
with
a
nose
ring
that
is
not
a
staple
to
gay
men.
Aman,
on
the
other
hand,
has
no
special
aspirations
just
the
regular
ones,
wants
to
make
his
parents
proud
and
live
a
happy
life
with
his
partner.
The
makers
have
made
a
real
effort
at
normalizing
these
men
as
themselves
and
not
just
the
gay
couple.
From
the
things
that
we
have
seen
in
the
trailer,
Kartik
is
a
fan
of
Roadies,
and
Dilwale
Dulhania
Le
Jayenge.
Aman
love
midnight
rides
and
would
do
anything
for
the
people
he
loves
and
cares
for.
And
The
Kiss!
The
kiss
at
the
end
of
the
trailer
is
what
wraps
it
with
a
perfect
bow.
If
you
are
okay
with
kissing
scenes
between
a
heterosexual
couple,
in
almost
every
film,
every
other
scene,
then
this
scene
shouldn't
be
an
issue.
We
as
a
society
have
reached
a
point
where
films
cannot
tiptoe
around
the
idea
of
homosexual
relationships.
It
exists
and
it
is
everywhere
around
you.
