Gay activist Ashok Row Kavi exposes actor Yuvraaj as being openly gay. He also claims the actor is 'defaming' Onir, director of My Brother... Nikhil which deals with themes such as AIDS and homosexuality.
Onir's latest film is I Am which consists of four short films exploring , among other themes, same-sex relationships.
Allegations that My Brother Nikhil filmmaker Onir had molested model-turned-actor Yuvraaj Parashar surfaced recently. However Onir's friends and supporters insist that he has been falsely implicated.
Ashok Row Kavi, chairperson at the Humsafar Trust (that works on gay and transgender issues) and the technical officer for sexual minorities at UNAIDS, says Onir has been framed and that the 'Dunno Y' actor is openly gay.
Says Kavi: 'I have tremendous sense of respect for Onir. Unlike five other leading directors in the industry, he's the only person who's come on board with his sexuality not just through his films but also in his acceptance of himself.
'Yuvraaj is a struggling actor who came to Mumbai eight years back and has been using all means possible to get any kind of publicity. If he was raped or molested, he should've gone to the cops and got a forensic test done rather than going to the press with a juicy story'.
We'll just have to wait and watch what comes out of this story... in the meanwhile, the smut is out for all to see!
