Ayushmann Khurana promotes safe use of online platforms to children

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana is actively promoting the safe use of online platforms, particularly for children. He has taken a proactive stance in advocating for the creation of a secure digital space, particularly for children. In a statement, he emphasized the positive potential of the internet for children and the need to ensure their safety online.

“The internet is a powerful tool, and we need to ensure that children can make the best use of it. They can use the internet to learn about the world, discover new hobbies, advance their skills, explore job opportunities, and harness its potential safely and securely,” Khurrana stated.

He also addressed the growing issue of online trolling affecting children’s mental health and self-esteem, emphasizing the importance of educating and sensitizing children about maintaining online hygiene.

“It is important that we educate and sensitize our children on ways to maintain online hygiene – to not only stay protected from trolling and bullying but to also refrain from being an online troll/bully,” he added.

Khurrana shared his views on how parents should navigate the digital age with their children, emphasizing the need to build trust and encourage open communication.

“As elders, it is our responsibility to build trust with our children – Trust which is a two-way street where the children trust the adults/guardians enough to turn to them when they need support, and for the adults/guardians to trust the children when they turn to them,” he explained.

He also highlighted the importance of patience, trust, and seeking professional help if necessary. On the work front, Ayushmann expressed excitement about his upcoming films, promising a diverse range of genres and a focus on delivering quality theatrical experiences to the audience.
