Ayushmann Khurrana is one of the few actors whose films often act as a mirror to society. His films talk about topics that are considered taboo and they often have quite an unconventional take on things. The actor has been very comfortable talking about these issues on a personal front, and he tries to be as inclusive as he can be on social media as well. Celebrating Pride Month, the actor has now introduced an all-new Pride flag that was unveiled recently.
