All of it rubbish, unless they specifically or personally come out and identify themselves as one thing or another, in order to support a cause or motive. You can suspect or rumor mill produce anything about anyone BUT that is all it is: irrelevant speculation.

I never understand this huge concern with other peoples inies or outies, none of it changes how they are as human beings, none of it changes what they do as entertainers, none of it changes their work output and the exchange you will have as an audience with them. Things like sexual preference should matter only on a personal level, like if you are related, a mother, sibling etc.. (just because family support each other in all matters) or if you are going to marry the person, otherwise it is honestly highly irrelevant.

Sexuality should be irrelevant but that's not the case in real life

Pete Buttigieg is a prime example, is not qualified at all, he was mayor of an obscure. small town and he now holds a big office and is a hot favorite for 2024 Vice presidential candidate even Presidential... Just bcz he 's married to a man...

Why is this a criteria... Are there no other qualified candidates

Straight actors sexuality and sexual lives are discussed all day though and no one bats an eye. I am gay, don't see anything wrong with speculating because we do the same for straight people.

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.

Iqbal khan definitely not..otherwise he would have done an arrange marriage with a kashmir ki kali. His wife even reverteed to Islam(not something you will do in a cover up marriage) .. And if you follow him on insta u will notice that he is pretty much into his faith.. Highly doubt someone like that would be bi or close to it

Also when I was a kid I was part of his online fanclub on Yahoo which ws managed by his wife. During those days she used to online say mean things about neha bamb(even came in online portal). He is pretty crazy about his wife

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.

I am surprised how this wasn't a big news in Pakistan

Akshay 's son is gay?

Well an SRK fan outed Aarav by sharing video of him kissing a dude in twitter. I don't know if the person is actually him. The worst thing about it is that the video was filmed without consent. I cant imagine how much horror he is going face in India especially considering how conservative Indian society is. Good that he has a Canadian passport.

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.

Ekta caught with Anita? Where did you read this?

Reverted? You mean converted to Islam.

Also, your sexuality has nothing to do with your faith. You don't choose to be gay or straight.
