Ayushmann Khurrana celebrates 2 years of Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, hopes for a positive social change

Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana wrote a touching poem for the second anniversary of Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan. The film, which drew attention to the LGBTQ community, was a little step forward. 

On the anniversary of the film, the actor shared a video with a montage dedicated to 'Love is Love.' The actor can be heard expressing in the narration that he hopes to tell many more such stories.

He wrote, 

"I have always considered myself merely a vehicle or a medium to tell stories that hopefully will affect positive social change. I was thrilled with how audiences reacted to the strong message about gender inclusivity that #ShubhMangalZyadaSaavdhan (SMZS) delivered, making it a unique success story. On the second anniversary of the film, I again want to highlight that what’s most important right now is a representation of the community in mainstream cinema." 

On a closing note, he wrote, 

“I think awareness among our countrymen has been created by films like Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui and now Badhaai Do. I believe we are moving in the right direction. SMZS and CKA will be remembered as baby steps towards a bigger impact.#2YearsOfShubhMangalZyadaSaavdhan”
