Ayushmann Khuranna opens up on why he doesn't use 'ladies and gentleman' now while delivering speeches at gatherings.
Actor Ayushmann Khuranna has stopped using words 'ladies and gentlemen’ while delivering speeches at gatherings. He did not even use these words at the TIME 100 Impact Awards in Singapore, where he was honoured as one of the most influential people in the world.
Explaining why he has stopped using 'ladies and gentlemen', Ayushmann said, "I think it is necessary to make every space inclusive for all genders. Gender has to be seen as a spectrum today and not just as male and female. It is true that I have stopped using the words “ladies and gentlemen” whenever I address people now. Instead, I’m happy using “everyone”.
He added, “I think it is high time that we make every setting gender agnostic. We need to embrace the fact that gender is also non-binary. We are all equals and I hope we can all contribute actively towards making our society more compassionate and accepting for all genders.”
Meanwhile, on the film front, Ayushmann has recently delivered his fifth 100-crore film Dream Girl 2. Earlier, Ayushmann shared a video that consists of clips from his first television stint with Roadies to his career in Bollywood with movies such as Vicky Donar, Dum Laga Ke Haisa, Bala, Andhadhun, Dream Girl and the recent Dream Girl 2. The video also consists of moments from his first Bollywood awards, receiving the National Award for Andhadun, and getting featured in Time Magazine
Sharing the video, Ayushmann recalled how his journey had many ups and downs, and how he overcame self-doubt and other obstacles in his career. Thanking his fans for the constant support, he wrote, "It’s been a life full of tests, many ups and downs, days and nights of wrecking self-doubt. But here I am. Still standing. Still believing. Thanks to everyone who has loved me unconditionally. Thank you for making my birthday special."(With inputs from ANI)
