Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana has opened up about the time he kissed a boy in the past.
“I have kissed a boy in the past. During MTV Roadies, we were playing truth and dare. I got the dare (to kiss a boy) and so I did it,” said Ayushmann Khurrana, who is seen playing a gay character in his upcoming film “Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan”, and who is seen kissing his costar Jitendra Kumar in the ‘Gabru’ song of the film.
Ayushmann Khurrana added: “If I can do it for a dare then why can’t I do it for a film? This kind of film is happening in India in 2020. I feel a boy can fall in love with a boy, or a girl can fall in love with a girl. It doesn’t matter because at end of the day. Love should be treated as love.”

Did his co-star Jitendra Kumar also have the experience of kissing a guy in the past? “Before shooting the kissing scene, I asked Jitu if he had ever kissed a boy. He told me he had done it in the past. He told me that ragging takes place in engineering colleges, and he was given a task to kiss four boys. I feel this is ridiculous. I feel ragging should be banned and it is not right. It shouldn’t happen. It wasn’t banned back then, so Jitu had to do it. So, he has done method acting before this film,” said Ayushmann Khurrana, while interacting with students at Bhavan’s College to promote “Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan”, along with his co-actor Jitendra Kumar in Mumbai.
On the release of the gay rom-com “Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan”, Ayushmaan said he is glad that India is ready is for a film on same-sex relationship.
