Speaking about his #IAmNotSorry story, the talented Ayushmann Khurrana said, “I am not sorry for choosing Vicky Donor because its subject was a taboo. Rather, it ushered people and became a drawing room for discussions. I did ‘Dum Lagaa Ke Haisha’ movie where I get married to a fat girl which is kind of body-shaming. I am not sorry for the brave choices which I have made when it come to films. I have sometimes rejected roles as a commercial actor in a conventional way. I am glad my films and my decisions are working. These movies aren't only a medium for entertainment; they add value to the cinema-medium.” Sharing his story, actor Sonu Sood said, “There is a place in Juhu where a lot of garbage used to pile up and people used to worry how to clean it up. Nearby, people used to throw fish and other garbage which was creating a lot of nuisance around the area. I started the cleanliness drive there around few days ago. I further reached out to the BMC officials and requested them to support the drive. The area is clean now. So, I am not sorry to take up the garbage to keep my city clean.” Actress Sunny Leone said, “I am not sorry for anything that I have done in my life and I am proud of myself. I believe, whatever you do, you should do it from your heart.” The radio network throughout the duration of the campaign is airing stories of people who have gone out of their way and stood by their distinguished decisions. An open letter format has been adopted where the network plays short yet meaningful messages about brave choices taken by an individual intended for a mass audience.
