"India is an idea of togetherness like we see unity in diversity" - Ayushmann Khurrana on Republic Day 2023

Ayushmann Khurrana has always lived a feeling of patriotism and pride on Republic Day. The grand parade that displays India’s diversity, military might and cultural uniqueness is something he watches to date. He says, “Republic Day for me meant watching the parade on Doordarshan and giving them our own rankings and marks of all the floats from the different states. My mother used to be really excited because she is from Delhi and she has seen all these floats live as a child." He adds, “And that excitement of course rubbed off on us and we too used to get excited. We used to watch every single program on TV – Indian Airforce, Army, Navy and all the state floats.”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Ayushmann Khurrana (@ayushmannk) Having played the common Indian man as a protagonist, flawed but kind-hearted and progressive, Ayushmann finds our nation’s capacity to integrate everyone as its most special identity. He describes his idea of India, “For me India is an idea of togetherness like we see unity in diversity. Diversity is our biggest strength and it really depends on us how do we take it forward.” Ayushmann lives out his idea of patriotism in an evolving world and a fast-changing society through his selection of film roles. They represent good men dealing with challenging circumstances and overcoming true challenges. He says, “As a citizen, as an actor – I would like to contribute to our nation by creating films that are progressive. I truly believe in the power of cinema and through my art I would like to showcase different perspectives.” Ayushmann adds, “I have been part of two films Article 15 and Anek both with Anubhav Sinha sir – that’s also about unity. It questions our society and questions discrimination so I guess these three films are really on freedom.” On the work front, Ayushmann Khurrana will be next seen in the sequel to his hit franchise Dream Girl 2.

23 Years of Lagaan: “A famous painter heard 'O Paalanhaare' and told me, ‘Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist aisa bhajan nahin likh sakta’” - Javed Akhtar

One of the greatest films of all time, Lagaan (2001), completed 23 years on June 15. Starring Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh, it was a fictional period drama about a group of villagers learning cricket, a game alien to them, and playing it against the British. In the pre-climax, when the villagers fear defeat, they collectively pray to God. This is when 'O Paalanhaare' is played and it leaves viewers teary-eyed. The song took a life of its own and is one of the most loved film devotional songs of all time. Many are surprised to know that Javed Akhtar, an atheist, penned this track.

Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist...
