This was the most surprising of all! Most of the populace grew up reading Seth’s writings that have frequently been honored as fine Indian literature but a lot of people didn’t know that Seth was in to women as well men. When Seth spoke against the horrendous 2013 Supreme Court Verdict on Homosexuality, it sure did shock a lot of people.

Seth is a well known name in Indian literary circle and is famous for a suitable boy, The Golden Gate among his several works.

When Onir spoke about his homosexuality, it wasn’t as shocking as hearing that he had received threats and insults because of it. It is a sad reality that several homosexual and LGBT people go through and IPC 377 is another major hellhole that guarantees their suffering in our country.

Onir is Bollywood’s only open director who has no qualms about talking about his homosexuality. A talented director indeed, he is well known for cinematic masterpieces like my brother Nikhil. Onir recently directed I Am which had four features out which one starring Rahul Bose showed the struggle that gay men go through.
