Ayushmann while speaking to the press on Tuesday had stated, "We are really proud that we are supporting the community. Our country is very progressive that it legalized same-sex marriages."

In 2018, the Supreme Court of India had decriminalized homosexuality but that did not imply the legalization of same-sex marriage. Fans were quick to respond to the actor's statement.

Soon after Ayushmann Khurrana came forward on Twitter and admitted to his mistake and apologized for the same. He wrote, “A genuine slip here though I really wish same-sex marriages get legal in India.”
