Disvery and acceptanceIn addn to class dynamics, there’s a tenr track of homosexual self-disvery that Adiga’s novel explor.
In 2003, as a first mastream Hdi cema there was a ic gay sk between Shah Rh Khan and Saif Ali Khan Kal Ho Naa Ho.
From that we have e a long way, when you look at the pictn of the gay character Kapoor & Sons (2016) played by Fawad Khan, cintally also a Dharma film. But the book Manju slowly realis that he is gay and begs to fantasise about Javed. (Photo urty: Dharma Productns)The big change the pictn of homosexual characters particularly that of men, is that the stereotypil image of an effemate man stttg around tight pants has been broken to a large extent.
