Ayushmann Khurrana has been roped in by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, to celebrate India’s Independence Day this year. The actor is urging all the citizens of the nation to salute the tricolour, our National Flag, by lending his support to the Har Ghar Tiranga celebration which is a part of the government’s landmark initiative, Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. The initiative is aimed to celebrate and commemorate 77 years of India’s independence and the glorious history of its people, culture and achievements.
The Ministry of Culture feels that Ayushmann, as an esteemed icon, has featured in an array of socially relevant and popular works that have left a huge impact on the masses. The youth icon is only humbled to have been made a part of the government’s plan to celebrate our Independence Day.
Ayushmann Khurrana said he loves India’s unity in diversity through his post on social media. He wrote, “एक है भारत, एक है धड़कन, एक ही गूंज और आवाज़, #HarGharTiranga फहरायें इसी में है हमारी एकता! On this historic day, let’s come together and proudly wave our tricolour.”
A rank outsider to Bollywood, Ayushmann has also been voted by the prestigious TIME magazine as one of the most influential personalities in the world. Ayushmann has paved his own path in the industry and has now over time become a symbol of trust in India.
The Indian Institute of Human Brands or IIHB’s TIARA report, which analyses celebrities as brands, has concluded that India most identifies with Ayushmann Khurrana.
