Ayushmann Khurrana, UNICEF India’s National Ambassador, has highlighted the safety and education challenges faced by children in rural Maharashtra. During a visit to a village in Jalna district, he received letters from local girls detailing how poor road conditions are making it difficult to attend school and contributing to dropouts, particularly among female students.

Speaking to media, Ayushmann Khurrana revealed that during his visit to a village in Jalna district as part of a UNICEF-supported programme, a young girl handed him a letter highlighting the poor condition of the roads leading to her school. He explained that unsafe roads often make it difficult for children, particularly girls, to continue their education and can eventually lead to school dropouts. The actor added that the letters were personally submitted to the District Collector, and he hopes the concerns will be addressed soon.

“When young children become aware and express their views through education, it makes us feel that our country is moving forward,” said Ayushmann.

He further emphasised the need for greater awareness and action towards the future generation, saying, “The message to society is that we must be more conscious of our efforts regarding future generations. Seventy per cent of India lives in villages, and if our villages do not flourish, how can our country progress? And if children are suffering in the primary sector or in villages, then I think our country is suffering too. That is why this is a drastic step.”

Ayushmann said that while he had participated in several UNICEF campaigns across Delhi, Mumbai and the Women’s World Cup, this was his first rural field visit. Calling it an eye-opening experience, he said the visit offered him a firsthand look at grassroots work.

The actor added that Maharashtra holds a special place in his heart, making his visit to Jalna even more meaningful.

On the work front, Ayushmann Khurrana will next headline Sooraj Barjatya’s upcoming film, titled Yeh Prem Mol Liya.

Tum Rahe Na Tum, Produced by Vinni Chawla and Sonu Katyal under Fanatically Filmi Pvt. Ltd., the film adapts Swedish playwright August Strindberg’s acclaimed play The Father. Set against an intimate Indian family backdrop, the story delves into love, control, insecurity, parental expectations, toxic masculinity and ego, examining how these emotions and conflicts can profoundly alter relationships.

Director Prem Prakash Modi said “Tum Rahe Na Tum is an intimate exploration of relationships and the emotional spaces people inhabit within a family. I wanted to look at what happens when love, expectations, insecurity, ego and ideas of masculinity begin to affect the way people see each other. The film is rooted in a very Indian family setting, but the emotions are universal.”

Speaking about the cast, Modi praised Jimmy Shergill for his ability to bring authenticity to complex characters, making him a perfect fit for the role. He also highlighted Divya Dutta’s ability to portray strength, vulnerability and emotional complexity. Modi added that the pairing of Jimmy and Divya brings the layered and deeply lived-in relationship the story demands, while allowing both actors to explore unexplored emotional and character territories.

Divya Dutta said, “What attracted me to the film was that nobody in this family is completely innocent or completely guilty. It is a very human, uncomfortable and layered story, and that complexity is what made the film particularly compelling for me.”

Jimmy Shergill, who was recently seen in the hit show Operation Safed Sagar, said he was drawn to Tum Rahe Na Tum because of its deeply human and emotionally complex narrative. Describing his role as emotionally challenging, he added that the story makes one question perceptions, beliefs and how differently two people can experience the same relationship.

The film also stars Harsh Chhaya, with Zarina Wahab and Rajesh Jais playing pivotal roles.

Lately, the entire talk in tinsel town is about Ravi Kishan and his ecstatic personality.

During the UP Creator Summit organised by Times Of India digital, Ravi Kishan finally sprinkled some pixie dust on the curiosity building up behind his viral walk dance move. When asked how the iconic walk came up, he simply said, (English translation) “There was no space and I was trying to move sideways to the stage. I looked like a locked pigeon.”

He then asked the producers to play the song Gucci which had also gone viral along with his dance moves. Following that, he gracefully proceeded to recreate the dance moves which involve a sidewalk with one leg crossing over the other simultaneously, with elegance, all the while smiling.

Gucci by Aroob Khan was released back in 2020 and was a viral sensation back then as well due to the inclusion of the then TikTok star, Riyaz Aly. Riyaz was recently spotted in the Lock Upp season 2, with an entirely new frizzy hairstyle, in contrast to his popular spiked look. The song has now resurfaced and gathered a whole new generation of fans with its popularity skyrocketing because of Ravi Kishan.
