The oldest saw was about a Bollywood superstar who crashed with a former television actor turned producer when he first arrived in Mumbai and supposedly granted him sexual favours. The married superstar was supposed to be part of a gay love triangle with a well-known fashion designer and an A-list director. The A-list director introduced one of his former assistant directors as a leading man in a teeny bopper film and set him up in a posh flat and a got him a car and driver, in exchange for sexual favours.
Almost as old a saw is about the head of a television production house who likes her ladies. Apparently, her yesteryear Bollywood hero father had a glad eye for the male of the species and her wannabe star brother is in a relationship with the same fashion designer who was part of the triangle mentioned earlier.
A lesser-known fact about the wannabe star brother is that he was part of an ensemble cast headed by Hindi cinema's biggest superstar ever and another macho star, now mainly reduced to doing south remakes. The unit was at a remote location in Maharashtra with no female company and the macho star wanted an orifice to slake his lust. The wannabe star brother duly obliged and the macho star justified to himself that he is not gay simply because he gave and did not receive.
There are many more such tales doing the round of the Bollywood party circuit, including that of the female director of a monster hit set in a European country, which also starred her brother. She is openly gay in her circles, but now, thanks to the Supreme Court ruling, her boldness will surely be subdued.
Perhaps in a way, the ruling merely holds up a mirror to our society. We have long been a nation of hypocrites and now it is legal to be so.
