Ayushmann Khurrana addresses controversy, says Pati Patni Aur Woh Do not about infidelity

Ayushmann Khurrana has addressed growing chatter around Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, clarifying that the film does not promote infidelity and is designed as a light-hearted family entertainer.

The trailer of the film, which also stars Sara Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh and Wamiqa Gabbi, was launched at a grand event, drawing attention for its chaotic comedy storyline.

Speaking at the event, Ayushmann praised director Mudassar Aziz for his storytelling approach, saying the film goes beyond a typical rom-com. “The way Mudassar has woven this classic, iconic story is brilliant. It’s not a typical rom-com; there’s more comedy in the film,” he said.

Responding to criticism that the film promotes infidelity, he firmly denied the claims. “We are not promoting infidelity because it’s a family film. Everyone will enjoy watching this film; it’s a comedy of errors,” Ayushmann said, adding that the focus is on humour and situational chaos rather than relationship messaging.

He also shared a personal note, saying he prefers films suitable for family viewing. “I took my kids to the edit suite during post-production and they loved it. When kids enjoy it, it becomes a wholesome family film,” he said.

About the trailer

The trailer introduces Ayushmann as Prajapati Pandey, a simple forest officer whose life spirals into confusion after a well-meaning act entangles him with three women, played by Sara Ali Khan, Wamiqa Gabbi and Rakul Preet Singh.

As misunderstandings multiply, the story escalates into a full-blown comedy of errors, further heightened by Vijay Raaz as a strict cop.
