Actor Ayushmann Khurrana who is known for his unique choices of films has been appointed as a National Ambassador for UNICEF.
As a Nation Ambassador, the 38 year old actor will support UNICEF in ensuring rights of every child to survive, thrive, be protected as well as promoting their voice and agency in decisions that concern them.
This is not the first time he has joined UNICEF. He has also worked as a celebrity advocate for children’s rights. Speaking about working with UNICEF again, he said in his statement, ” It is truly an honour to further my advocacy for children’s rights with UNICEF India as a National Ambassador. I am passionate about the issues facing children and adolescents in India. As UNICEF’s Celebrity Advocate, I have interacted with children and spoken on internet safety, cyberbullying, mental health, and gender equality. In this new role with UNICEF, I will keep up a strong voice for children’s rights, especially for the most vulnerable supporting solutions for issues that impact them the most.”
Meanwhile, Ayushmann was last seen in An Action Hero (2022). In spite of positive reviews from the critics, the film failed to translate its positive reviews to smashing box office collections. The actor is now eagerly waiting for the release of his next Dream Girl 2(2023), which is a sequel to his superhit film Dream Girl (2019). This time Ananya Panday replaces Nusratt Bharuchha.
