Ayushmann Khurrana says 'same-sex marriage is legal in India', gets bashed by netizens

Ayushmann Khurrana is famous for his smart choice of roles that send out a strong message to society. His films like Badhaai Ho, Article 15, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan are proofs of it. His upcoming movie Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan talks about same-sex couples in India and their fight for equality and acceptance as normal humans in the society.

The LGBTQ community of India, as well as his fans, are all praise for his next film. In a recent media interaction, he talked about the greatness of India and the rights of the LGBTQ community. However, he had a little slipup.

He said that he is very proud of the country for supporting the LGBTQ community and that our country is quite progressive as to legalise same-sex marriage. However, it is far from reality. Same-sex marriages are yet to be legally recognised in India. Twitter was very quick to notice his blunder and gave him some words of wisdom. Netizens also asked him to get his facts checked.
