Actor Abhishek Bachchan says he's ready to be an icon for homosexuals as well.

Asked by a national daily if he would feel comfortable having a big following among gay men, Bachchan said, "Great! Why not?"

"Appreciation and love from any quarter is welcome," he was quoted as saying.

While such a sentiment would surprise few in Hollywood, homosexuality remains a taboo in India.

Even in Bollywood's relatively liberal social circles, there are few openly gay personalities.

As for his female fan base, Bachchan jokingly said, "You bribe them very well and keep them on payroll."
