How many closeted LGBT people are there in Bollywood?

Aside from Karan Johar, how many known cases do we have?

The Khanna brothers are rumored to be gay, i.e. Akshay and Rahul. No idea how true though.

Ekta Kapoor is rumored to be lesbian / bi too, and not just that -- she seems very into casting couches too. Anita Hasanandi, Mona Singh etc are her girltoys.

Heard about Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhter.

I've always suspected SRK to be bi too. I've inside connections in real life who said SRK seems to get too close to handsome male models at any chance. It seems Gauri/Priyanka are just beards. That said, I don't think he's gay. He's more likely bi.

Some magazines in the 90s used to say Saif and Karishma were bi, though I personally never suspected them or anything.

I've heard about Abhishek too, that he's gay/bi and very much into twinks. That his marriage was a cover-up.

Oh SLB. This is no secret that this highly creative man is purely into his own gender. Imran Abbas scandel was quite big (just google it).

I suspect Siddhant Chaturvedi but no clue.

EDIT - I have always suspected Iqbal Khan to be gay and his and Sneha's relation a coverup but it's just me and my gaydar. Nothing concrete.

P.S. Mods - we discuss straight celebs sexual/romantic life so why not this? It's not homophobic to discuss someone's sexuality, just like it's not heterophobic to discuss a straight actor's sexual life.

P.P.S. For those who are going to claim, why are so many celebs gay, it must be a lifestyle choice yada yada. My view - sexuality is a spectrum, not binary (100% gay or 100% straight). Most people fall somewhere in the spectrum, and studies show LGBT+ population to be bigger amongst artists. Plus, film industries are the liberal hub, so it is easier to be gay/bi there than it is in real life.

Ekta Kapoor is certainly lesbian. There were a lot of rumours about Prachi Desai and Mona Singh.

SRK is most possibly bi. Heard rumours about him hooking up with Arjun Rampal once.

Ayan is gay, that's quite obvious. Ranbir may or may not be his partner.

There were rumours about Rani Mukherjee and Vaibhavi Merchant.

Anita Hasanandi recently became a mother so seems disrespectful to discuss her she had a love marriage with rohit

Mona Singh also got married quite recently

Imran Abbas scandal? Shed some light on it. Got no clue.

From whatever gossip i read SRK is Bi. Manish Malhotra and Kjo were reportedly in a relationship.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is gay and so is Tushar Kapoor.

Ekta Kapoor is Bi. Read about her getting caught with Anita by Eijaz Khan. Mona is also said to be dating her at one point of time.

Arjun Rampal is Bi.

These are the only one i can only think of Rn.

They could be bi or just gay for pay for Ekta

Basically Imran Abbas was some handsome actor that SLB had an interest in. So he offered Imran a film in exchange for sex. They had a long sexual standing relation (Imran mentioned that SLB actually used to be very rough and into BDSM stuffs etc, without mentioning SLB's name). But later SLB didn't give him the film, it as all an act.

Yes, historically many writers, thinkers, actors have been gay... Only now they don't have to hide it, I mean in the West

It would be interesting to see who would be the first openly gay artist in India
