‘Safety First’: Ayushmann Khurrana takes Shubh Mangal Saavdhan co-star Bhumi Pednekar on a condom bike ride

Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar are currently busy promoting their upcoming film Shubh Mangal Saavdhan which is all set to release this week on September 1, 2017. The movie deals with the issue of erectile dysfunction. 

Promoting their movie in style, Ayushmann was today snapped taking Bhumi on a unique bike ride. What was so unique about the ride was that the bike was shaped like a condom with the duo promoting ‘safety’.

Post the trailer of Shubh Mangal Saavdhan came out, there were a lot of reactions by the fans and Ayushmann recently revealed one of the hilarious comments he received. He told a leading tabloid that the most amusing comment he received was - 'he donated so much sperm that now he can't get it up!'  

On these lines, he said, "That's exactly the reaction we wanted. This is good trolling." Talking about the issue, he said, "In a country where erectile dysfunction is a taboo subject, I am glad that we are putting it out there for the public to discuss it."

He went on to add, "After Vicky Donor, life is coming a full circle for me with this film. We are part of a progressive changing society. As young actors, the onus lies on us to choose subjects which must be talking points. Is our work of any value if we don't have an opinion on things?"

"The male ego is so unnecessarily important in patriarchal societies. When a woman cannot conceive, everyone has something to tell her. When a guy can't get it up, it's shoved under the carpet. Sexual health is important to a relationship. In this film, the girl is in love with the guy and we establish the fact that their relationship goes beyond the sexual act. But the girl is emphatic that she wants to have sex," added the actor. 

"In this society, chauvinism is mistaken for chivalry. It's tough to change that. This film will trigger a change in the right direction," Ayushmann added.
