Actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who is waiting for the release of his next "Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan", says that many from the Hindi film industry asked him to re-think over playing a gay man on screen."I39m what I39m because of my family. They have constantly been a massive support system for me and they have always enabled me in taking the biggest life decisions. When I decided to pursue a career in showbiz, they stood by me like a rock."When I decided that my brand of cinema will stand for taboo breaking subjects and characters like being a sperm donor in 39Vicky Donor39, a man dealing with erectile dysfunction in 39Shubh Mangal Saavdhan39, someone who is prematurely balding in 39Bala39, to now proudly playing a gay man in 39Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan39, they told me to always back my instincts and never think of what society or my immediate community will say about me," Ayushamnn said.He said many people from the industry told him to rethink playing a gay man on screen."Their family39s confidence in me and my dreams has made me who I39m today, has made me what I stand for and I can39t thank them enough. Doing 39Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan39 was one of the most important decisions of my life. A lot of people from the industry asked me to re-think this because no leading hero has ever portrayed a gay man on screen. But I knew, this stereotype needed to be shattered and the time to change it, is now. I somehow knew I had to do it and take the plunge," he said.Ayushmann is set to have a screening of his film for his entire family soon and he is excited about seeing their reaction.He said: "I have a free pass to do all things different and quirky and I wanted to raise nationwide awareness on the taboos linked with the LGBTQ community at large. I was sure that we have to make 39Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan39 as a full family entertainer that brings a smile to people39s faces, to spread the message of the film to as many people as possible across the country and I39m thrilled with how the movie has shaped up."My family thoroughly supported me in my decision and I want to see this film with my parents and all my relatives. It39s a moment that truly defines me in Indian cinema and I want to cherish this moment with my entire family."
