Ayushmann, who recently shot a video for the same cause, said: “As a socially conscious citizen, I would always want to spread the word on matters that are important to our country and matters that need urgent attention.”
The Vicky Donor actor further added, “POCSO is a hugely important step taken by the ministry to make people aware of the protection and legal support that the act offers against child sexual abuse. Crimes against children are the most heinous and I applaud the government and UNICEF’s stand on protecting the future generations of our country.”
