Bollywood star Ayushmann Khurrana is currently making headlines for his upcoming film ‘Article 15’. Very few people know that Ayushmann is also a published author and had been a columnist. Recently, there’s a debate going on about the National Education Policy (NEP) 2019 draft which calls for the compulsory imposition of Hindi in schools.
The ‘Aandhadhun’ actor recently shared a blog post which he had written 2 years ago. The blog talks about his point of view on the same issue in detail. Where he also talks about his own experience in Tamil Nadu where a signboard said ‘Pick Up Point’ in English and ‘Lene Ki Jagah’ in Hindi. He also talked about how an alien language like Hindi should not be forced on the south or north-eastern states as cinema and songs are the only sources for them to know about the language.
#Article15 is making the noise for the right reasons. My stand for equality is not only centred around #Article15Trailer. 3 years back I had written something and it holds relevance with today’s trending topic. Pls read.🇮🇳#HindiIsNotTheNationalLanguage https://t.co/8RX9zffFmT

He wrote, ”“The priority right now is the development of the country and an overthrust should not be out on preservation of culture and heritage. It comes second.”
Directed by Anubhav Sinha ‘Article 15’ is slated to release on June 28 this year.
