Bollywood Celebs rejoice legalising homosexuality

Bollywood Gossip : Bollywood has always had a somewhat tense relationship with homosexuality, with very few mainstream films dealing with the subject, and homosexuals being shown in poor and comic light. But as far as members of the film industry are concerned, the legalising of homosexuality has got a thumbs-up from most of them.

Bollywood actors said that the decision of the Delhi High Court to legalise same-sex relationship will not just give legal cover to the homosexual community, but also help them lead a relatively trouble-free life.
Actor John Abraham, who is considered one of India’s hottest gay-icons, said, "I think it’s a step in the positive direction and I am personally quite happy that the High Court has finally given equal rights to everyone – whether he is a homosexual or a heterosexual."

The actor who came under some criticism from the gay community for playing a heterosexual man posing as a gay in Dostana added, "I think in a democratic country like India, where right to equality is a constitutional right, it was very important to give homosexuals their due. The government was also very empathetic to the fact that they should be treated equally."
Celina Jaitely who has been voicing her concern for the gay cause for quite some time terms the judgment as a historic one, even though, according to her, the battle has just begun.
"I think this is just the beginning. It’s historic, great and just remarkable. I am very happy with it. I think finally the gay community has achieved their freedom with this landmark judgment."
She added, "I know how homosexuals were exploited by the administration of this country. They were treated as outlaws. Now the first victory is achieved but this struggle has to go on. The important thing now is social acceptance. This community should now walk with their head held high and be proud of who they are."
Well-know fashion designer Wendill Rodricks said that it’s a landmark judgment but people should look at it more carefully and practically rather than with religious sentiments. He said, "I think we have been decriminalised and this is important for a country like India which is making progress in every sphere of life."

I am very jealous of Ash: Abhishek Bachchan

Mumbai: Abhishek Bachchan is ready with a promising looking new film, Delhi 6, directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. While Mehra's film talks about Bachchan's character discovering India, Abhishek says he is an extremely patriotic person. And he has one wish for the country. "I want to do something about the level of education in our country. Education is very important and I am here because my parents gave me a fantastic education. And only education can take the country far," he says.
Abhishek Bachchan says he is envious of wife Aishwarya Rai for working with his idol Steve Martin.
Abhishek's next film (yet untitled) to be directed by Mani Ratnam might just be another milestone in his career (Mani's earlier two films with the actor Yuva and Guru won Bachchan many accolades). "With Mani, one is very excited because I know that he is going to guide me into a brilliantly crafted movie. I hope he has enough trust in me and I don't let him down," he says.
But recently, what made Abhishek envious was the fact that Ash got to act with his childhood idol. "We were at the premiere of The Pink Panther 2 and it was great fun. It's a hilarious film. Steve Martin is a genius. I am very jealous of Ash. He is someone I have been idolising when I was growing up. And Ash gets the opportunity to work with the likes of Steve Martin and Jeremy Irons!"
