Palash is an actor. Anyone who is openly gay in Bollywood must expect to never get another role other than the “gay one”, says Palash. That is what he is afraid of, which is why he has never made a public statement about his homosexuality until today. Palash appears on social media as a supporter of the LGBTIQ community, using his reach to draw attention to equal rights. He believes that in Bollywood, homosexual people are portrayed with old clichés. The film industry could do away with prejudices and it has the power to create acceptance in all social classes. Bollywood must change, says Palash. This is already happening: the first film with a gay love story premiered in 2020.
