Multi-talented star Ayushmann Khurrana, who is busy filming for 'Doctor G' these days, has been appointed as the Celebrity Advocate for UNICEF's global campaign EVAC (Ending Violence Against Children). Violence sustained by children at a young age can have a lasting impression on their psyche and it can scar them for life. Also it negatively affects their mental growth. Ayushmann believes that teachers can play an important role in protecting their pupil from violence.

He said, “Teachers and schools have an important formative influence in the lives of children, as they spend a substantive part of the day across several years with them. We have been through that phase when whatever teachers tell us is at times placed on a higher value than even the advice of our parents. Teachers, therefore, have a great responsibility in ensuring schools are safe and trusted zones for children.”

The actor further added, "It means dealing with all forms of violence within school premises and making schools inclusive. Teachers also play an important role in educating children about personal safety from a very young age, providing them information and support for reporting any uncomfortable experience, thus ensuring that schools can be places children can feel safe.”

On the work front, Ayushmann has films like 'Anek', 'Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui' lined up for release.
