Bollywood star Ayushmann Khurrana visited the UNICEF Headquarters in New York. He shot for a global campaign video on World Immunisation Week. Khurrana, who is the National Ambassador of UNICEF for India, shared the video on World Immunization Week. April 24 and 30 annually marks the World Immunization Week, on social media.
“It was an honor to visit the UNICEF headquarters to shoot a very important global campaign on the importance of immunization. As a National Ambassador of UNICEF for India, I have been fortunate to lend my voice towards raising awareness on very critical issues that plague people. To be included to do my bit to tell everyone about the benefits of immunization is the least that I can do to push this important message across to as many people as possible,” said Khurrana in a statement.
At UNICEF’s New York headquarters, the actor, who has starred in many films on subjects generally taboo in the society, met senior officials and UNICEF Director of Global Communication and Advocacy, Naysan Sahba, to discuss key initiatives and future collaborations.
“I’m committed to be a part of as many campaigns for UNICEF. I believe in the extraordinary and incredible work that UNICEF does, not just in my country but the world over. I’m very fortunate to be working closely alongside the India team that works tirelessly to aid my countrymen in need,” he added.
