The actor, known for his role in 'Bala', shared a video of himself engaging with children to gain insights into their online experiences. He participated in various educational games focusing on digital safety, advocating for children's internet safety.
Discussing the need for a safer online environment, Khurrana stated, “In our modern society, individuals of all ages, from children as young as 5-6 years to older adults, are utilizing the internet for convenience. Therefore, it is crucial to educate first-time internet users—specifically children—about the risks associated with the internet and methods to navigate safely online. This year, for Safer Internet Day, I visited an NGO named PRATYeK with UNICEF, where I learned important internet safety rules alongside the children.”
On the professional front, Ayushmann is set to star in the forthcoming horror-comedy film 'Thama', where he will portray a vampire. The movie, featuring Rashmika Mandanna, Paresh Rawal, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, is expected to hit theaters on Diwali 2025, specifically November 17.
