In this society, chauvinism is mistaken for chivalry, reveals Ayushmann Khurrana!

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana is gearing up for the forthcoming movie, Shubh Mangal Savdhan.
Those who have seen the trailer would agree that the movie is bound to take us for a laughter ride. The movie is about the issue of erectile dysfunction and in our country, it is still a taboo.

Post the trailer came out, there were a lot of reactions by the admirers and Ayushmann disclosed one of the hilarious comments he received. He said a famous daily that the most amusing comment he received was - 'he donated so much sperm that now he can't get it up!' 

On these lines, he told, "That's exactly the reaction we wanted. This is good trolling." Talking about the issue, he said, "In a country where erectile dysfunction is a taboo subject, I am glad that we are putting it out there for the public to discuss it."

He further added, "After Vicky Donor, life is coming a full circle for me with this film. We are part of a progressive changing society. As young actors, the onus lies on us to choose subjects which must be talking points. Is our work of any value if we don't have an opinion on things?"

"The male ego is so unnecessarily important in patriarchal societies. When a woman cannot conceive, everyone has something to tell her. When a guy can't get it up, it's shoved under the carpet. Sexual health is important to a relationship. In this film, the girl is in love with the guy and we establish the fact that their relationship goes beyond the sexual act. But the girl is emphatic that she wants to have sex," added the actor.

"In this society, chauvinism is mistaken for chivalry. It's tough to change that. This film will trigger a change in the right direction," Ayushmann Khurrana ended with a strong message.
