Priyanka Chopra in Saheli-Ana: Why Should Boys Have All the Fun?
December 31, 2009
I can turn my brain off for a second and enjoy this video of Priyanka Chopra in a new avatar:
Of course, I don’t understand why the other woman has to appear dressed like a man to denote that kind of ‘Dostana.’ This adoption of gayness for humor is a troubling trend that reveals the deeper homophobic attitude of India. Why on earth is a gay relationship funny and any different than a straight relationship?
So far, only men have been acting gay for humor on the big Bollywood stage (Saif Ali Khan and Shahrukh Khan have entertained us with their gay act for far too many Filmfare Awards), but now Priyanka takes the cake for going a notch further.
