Ayushmann Khurrana defends Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, says it doesn’t promote infidelity

Ayushmann Khurrana has addressed the chatter around Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, clarifying that the film does not promote infidelity but is designed as a wholesome family entertainer.

The trailer of the film, also starring Sara Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh and Wamiqa Gabbi, was unveiled at a grand event, where Ayushmann spoke about the conversations surrounding its theme.

Praising director Mudassar Aziz, he said the film offers more than a conventional romantic comedy. “The way Mudassar has woven this classic, iconic story is brilliant. It’s not a typical rom-com; there’s more comedy in the film,” he said.

Responding directly to concerns about the film endorsing infidelity, Ayushmann clarified, “We are not promoting infidelity because it’s a family film. Everyone will enjoy watching this film; it’s a comedy of errors.” He emphasised that the narrative focuses on humour, confusion, and situational chaos rather than making a statement on relationships.

The actor also shared a personal perspective, revealing that he values films his children can watch. “I took them to the edit suite during post-production, and they loved it. When kids love it, it becomes a wholesome family film,” he said.

What the trailer shows

The trailer promises a full-blown comedy of confusion. Ayushmann plays Prajapati Pandey, a simple forest officer whose life spirals into chaos after a well-intentioned act lands him in a complicated situation involving three women, played by Sara, Wamiqa and Rakul.

As misunderstandings pile up, the story turns into a chaotic comedy of errors, further amplified by Vijay Raaz’s entry as a cop.
