Ayushmann Khurrana Funds Food Trucks to Empower the Transgender Community in Chandigarh

Ayushmann Khurrana has been a vocal supporter of human rights through his body of work in films, on social media, and at key national and global forums. The Bollywood star continues to hold the same principles as an entrepreneur, too.

Ayushmann is now helping members of the transgender community in Chandigarh to upskill and become self-reliant. Ayushmann has invested in building food trucks for the community so that they can be empowered to run their own food businesses.

The food trucks are being called 'Sweekar', a relevant take on the importance of acceptance for the community in today's society. Ayushmann recently handed over the keys to the Sweekar Food Trucks to the transgender community at Zirakpur in Chandigarh.

Speaking about this initiative, Ayushmann says, “To me, self-reliance is one of the most important steps towards protecting human rights. Nation-building requires inclusivity; it calls for protecting the rights of every individual living in this country. We can all contribute to it. I have always felt that individuals need to actively participate in empowering communities so that more and more people become self-reliant. This is my way of doing my bit for my country, for my fellow citizens.”
