Khurrana went on to state how men bear a greater responsibility to create a safer environment for everyone including children.
"And as men and boys we have the responsibility to be better role models because we know that often it's we men who are perpetrators of violence. As a UNICEF celebrity advocate, I am committed to ending violence against children," the 'Vicky Donor' actor said.
"I would like you to join in doing so. You can support UNICEF by lending your voice, time or money. Every support counts. On this World Children's Day, let us pledge to end violence against children," he added.
