At first I did not like this message?
Why behind. My favorite serial is AKNV. There's a good actor playing
gay. This is normally to shoot gay in ind. films. What do you want to discussed
here.
If the artists themselves are gay, then our opinions will not change that.
And why should it change, gays also have to somehow earn a living.
The fact that girls love gay people too well, because less will be break
with their hearts.
Only if the main character was gay then it would be cause for debate and what can be.
Secondly, I would like Hindus remain conservative. It is my hope.
We are foreigners love India for its traditions. If Hindus would be like the British or the Americans, viewers from other countries will no longer watch
their movie. I have not been able to bring myself to watch even "My name
is Khan". I'm not interested in American background.
Thirdly, please say to me who is this Suraj' brother-in-law?
Its interesting that you advised other people to "ignore" my post on the relevance of Homosexuality in daily soaps,which was then liked by five other members on here, clearly pointing out that either you and the other five dislike Homosexuals or their relevance as part of everyday society hence part of DABH.
What's more interesting is that you then did post your comments and views which I think is commendable! Its great to see someone step out from the crowd mentality and express your own view hence your comment.
However I also think that just because someone is not interested in a particulars background/culture which may indeed be different from your Indian background they may indeed be interested in the cultural similarities. You mentioned "my name is Khan" which indeed breaks free of such constraints and merged both cultures, i think that is a beautiful and magical combination and a marrage dynamic that was clearly a sucess. Love is indeed a common ground that we share hopefully. Many poeple would comment that the method of arranged relationships by people that somehow know better because they are older is flawed on so many levels. I know many people that are older than me that are not as wise as me, that including my own family, who may be clearly behind the rest of the world. Clearly if this dynamic that is prevalent in all of your daily soaps indeed supresses ones ability to love independently of who others choose for you then I feel India has a double standard: Love who we want you to love or else! Have a baby boy or kill it. Dont love a person from the same sex! If I was Indian I would be speakng out at any chance I got against all these violations of Human Rights!
In india this may be something you want to "conserve" as much as the denial of gays being promoted in tv as much but I feel that clearly the writers as well as the actors want to express themselves. Its clear in DABH that Sandhya has to live under the tyranny of her brothers selfish dreams just so he does not loose his job abroad and his selfish dream. I find it appalling that no one speaks about that never mind the other issues!
I think the main character at the moment that could indeed become Gay and it would be a good turn of events would be Suraj himself. He could assert himself instead of being under the thumb of what in the rest of the world we would consider suppression ! Any man that is controlled by his mother to that extent would be terrified to bring home the woman he wanted for fear that he would have to go through being totally osteragsied form anyone he loves! A MIL like that is enough to turn an man Gay! Or vice versa for a woman to Leisbian!
Indian drama has a lot to learn and a long way to go! I come on here to make reference to so many abnormalities in this soap and the need for people to direct it future!
Being Gay Is Normal! Choosing who to love is normal! Having a chance to live and being femail is normal! Having your dreams respected and being female is normal! The majority of your older generation are abnormal! You guys may be afraid to say it but at least I can say it for you!
Sorry but its True! I totally adore my indian friends and I cant stand seeing them treated this way! I hope other people will also stand up and speak up about homosexuality in life and in DABH!
Thanks for your post it was good!
