Ayushmann Says Same-Sex Marriage Is Legal In India, Apologises After Getting Trolled
Actor Ayushmann Khurrana is the poster boy of all taboo subjects in Bollywood. He started his career with a film on sperm donation and later portrayed a man suffering from erectile dysfunction. Now, this talented star will be seen playing the role of a gay man in his upcoming film, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan. This is known to all that the Supreme Court decriminalized homosexuality and with this film, the actor has tried to bring the conversation of LGBQT+ community to the forefront.
However, it seems like Ayushmann didn't have enough knowledge on the topic as in the recent interview, he stated that India is a progressive country where same-sex marriage is legal.
A genuine slip here though I really wish same-sex marriages get legal in India ?? https://t.co/4NmPGMedx5

Fact check: In 2018, the Supreme Court passed a landmark judgment decriminalizing homosexuality but same-sex marriages are not legal in India.
After Ayushmann's fiasco, people on social media started trolling him.
No doubt that he is a versatile actor. But this is what happens when you made a cis hetero man plays a role of gay or any LGBTQ community role for fame without knowing what things are
