Tahira Approves hubby Ayushmann’s Kissing Scene: I was delighted to see him kiss a guy on screen!

Ayushmann Khurrana is often referred to as the king of Off-beat cinema and the fans have always applauded his film choices. He started off his journey with Vicky Donor and today he has landed on a high pedestal after the announcement of one of the most peculiar films of his career so far. 

Ayushmann's upcoming film Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan will see him playing a homosexual man. The film revolves around same-sex relationships, and he is featured to kiss his male co-star and romantic lead Jitendra Kumar.

Ayushmann’s wife Tahira Kashyap has reacted to his kissing scene in the film and exclaimed, she has no qualms on her hubby kissing a man or woman onscreen. In a recent interaction with Pinkvilla Tahira addressed Ayushamnn’s hard work and praised him as an artist. She said: 

I was delighted to see Ayushmann kissing a guy on screen! Honestly, now I view it from the perspective of respecting an artist and his work – so whether he kisses a man or woman, I am seeing the emotion of the character. When he kisses a girl, I can see that the man is in love with her and this is what he needs to do to show love. I would make my characters in my movies do the same. And now if he is kissing a man that’s the most natural thing for him to do because he is gay and that’s his way of expressing love.

Who am I to judge? My perspective of watching him on screen is surely from the perspective of what he as a character should be doing and in Shubh Mangal Zyada Savdhaan this is what he should do because he is in love with the boy. What else do you do when you are in love?

Tahira also opened up on how she enjoys her own identity which is not just being called Ayushmann’s wife. “It wasn’t easy, but I have absolutely no qualms about being called Ayushmann’s wife. I see that the journey that he has gone through has so much hard work and perseverance and now it’s paying off for him finally. And why not? Tomorrow when my kids grow up and I hope they do some amazing work and then people say call me ‘Virajveer and Varushka’s mother’ I will be equally happy. I am also equally happy when people call me just Tahira so I am very happy in every aspect.”

Meanwhile, Ayushmann has worked tremendously hard to prove his love for cinema and how he has managed to break the stereotypical image of himself as Bollywood’s commercial actor. Currently, he has Gulabo Sitabo with Amitabh Bachchan in his kitty now.
