aapse i am a ghost and now im going to cling on to you just watching her is a lesson i tell her main toh ganga naha li ive been blessed by the holy water of ganga just by sharing screen space with you faraz and our producers put all their faith belief and 100 per cent in to bring everything together in the film it was a wonderful experiencewhat are your thoughts on lgbtqia representation in bollywood moviesyou will not get an authentic representation of any community until you have representation from that community behind the camera the authentic voices will come from people who have lived those experiences to this day my brother nikhil has some kind of effectiveness appeal and power i feel the representation has been very stereotypical for a very long time in mainstream films i am glad that we are now getting to hear more authentic voices this is true for all communities not just lgbtqia for the longest time hindi films have been stereotyping south indians that is changing i am not saying that everybody has to be from that community for example anaarkali of aarah is a story of a woman who has been wronged i have to give full credit to writerdirector avinash das who is a man but he took me along in that writing process he made me read every draft he accommodated inputs from everyone it is not like if you are a man you cannot write a story on a woman but at least include a womans point of view in it your choice of work is often associated with the issues you want to talk about has your work or brand image ever got affected because you played a certain character or took a certain standi dont think i have ever been punished for the kind of roles that i have done what i have been punished for are the opinions i have had or the fact that i have been very vocal about certain things more than giving opinions i think about participating in protests rallies or campaigning in 2019 i definitely had to suffer for that there is no doubt about that i have had brands terminating contracts who said i brought disrepute to the brand by participating in the caa nrc protests but i dont want to look like a victim here even if i am these are the choices i made this is the fight i want to fight and if this is the price i have to pay then it is unfortunate if i am being punished for believing in what are basically the constitutional values of this country then i am willing to take that punishmenthow does your family react to all thisthey are like chup ho ja swara laughs that was on a lighter note my family in fact has been very supportive of course they are very concerned and worried for me when firs and criminal complaints are
