Ayushmann
Khurrana
has
made
a
name
for
himself
in
the
Hindi
film
industry,
as
the
actor
who
successfully
pushes
boundaries
through
his
films.
From
a
film
about
a
sperm
donor
(Vicky
Donor)
to
one
which
addresses
the
caste
system
head-on
(Article
15),
Ayushmann
has
dared
to
do
what
other
actors
would
shy
away
from.
In
a
recent
interview,
Ayushmann
opened
up
on
how
he
tries
to
normalise
conversations
that
are
taboo,
through
his
films.
"I
have
been
trying
to
normalise
taboo
conversations
in
India
through
my
cinema.
You
will
notice
that
right
since
my
debut
film
(Vicky
Donor),
with
my
choice
of
films,
I
have
tried
to
do
my
bit
to
have
a
constructive
conversation
with
society
about
the
need
for
change," he
said
in
an
interview
with
Hindustan
Times.
He
continued,
"I've
always
strongly
felt
that
through
cinema,
we
could
ask
society
to
widen
its
gaze
towards
important
subjects
that
were
not
being
addressed.
We
were
a
shy
country,
we
still
are,
and
there
is
beauty
to
that,
but
what
I'm
most
happy
about
is
how
the
people
of
my
country
have
appreciated
my
style
of
cinema."
Ayushmann's
blockbuster
2018
film
Badhaai
Ho,
celebrates
its
second
anniversary
of
release.
Ayushmann
points
that
the
film,
which
is
about
a
couple
who
get
pregnant
in
their
50s,
received
so
much
love
and
is
indicative
of
the
society's
desire
to
normalise
taboo
topics.
"Their
love
is
the
biggest
proof
that
our
society
wants
to
normalise
deep-seated
issues
and
that's
the
biggest
validation
for
me
as
an
artiste.
With
Badhaai
Ho,
I
tried
to
normalise
the
sexual
desires
that
our
parents
could
have
and
there's
nothing
wrong
in
that.
For
Bollywood,
this
storyline
was
rare
but
it
was
necessary," he
said.
Ayushmann
will
next
be
seen
in
Abhishek
Kapoor's
film
about
a
cross-functional
athlete,
starring
opposite
Vaani
Kapoor.
