UNICEF National Ambassador for India and Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana inaugurated the food truck for the transgender community in Zirakpur. He handed over keys of food truck to the transgender community on March 28. “This Food Truck has been inaugurated for a very special and peculiar reason that is to encourage and include the trans community in the society. It's a small step, more people, opinion leaders like me who think about society and are sensitive towards it should come forward and help them. They (trans) are an invisible and underprivileged community in our country and this food truck is a kind of push to make them self-reliant and financially independent so that they can find a place in the society,” said Ayushmann Khurrana.
