Ayushmann Khurrana said his upcoming film *Pati Patni Aur Woh Do* does not glorify infidelity or promote cheating in marriage [1].
The clarification comes as the actor seeks to manage public perception and correct misconceptions regarding the movie's themes. Because the film deals with marital dynamics, the actor is addressing concerns that the plot might normalize betrayal within a relationship [2].
Speaking during an interview at the India Today TV studio, Khurrana said the project is a "comedy of errors" [1, 3]. He sought to distance the narrative from the idea of promoting illicit affairs, emphasizing that the story focuses on misunderstandings rather than the endorsement of infidelity [3].
"We are not glorifying infidelity," Khurrana said [2].
The actor further characterized the film as a "pati-verse," suggesting a specific comedic lens through which the story of the husband and wife is told [3]. By framing the movie as a series of mistakes and comedic mishaps, Khurrana aims to shift the conversation away from the moral implications of cheating and toward the entertainment value of the plot's confusion [1, 3].
This response follows similar defenses of the film's content by other collaborators, including Mudassar Aziz [2]. The production team intends for the audience to view the characters' struggles as sources of humor, rather than as a blueprint for behavior in real-world marriages [2].
“"We are not glorifying infidelity."”
This clarification reflects the tension between Bollywood's tradition of using marital conflict for comedic effect and a modern audience that is increasingly sensitive to the depiction of infidelity. By labeling the film a 'comedy of errors,' Khurrana is attempting to categorize the movie as a farce, thereby shielding the production from moral criticism while maintaining the commercial appeal of a provocative premise.
