Indian Celebrities who have spoken up for
“Gay Rights”
year month of June is celebrated as pride month acknowledging and accepting all types of sexual orientations. Even though E very homosexuality is still a taboo for many people in India but it’s nice to see that change is coming as Indians are becoming more accepting of LGBTQ+ community. The change can be seen in the success of films made on the theme of homosexuality. Today we are going to tell you about bollywood stars who have openly supported LGBTQ+ community long before it was widely accepted some of these stars have even risked their careers by producing or acting in gay-themed films. Ayushmann Khurrana
Sonam Kapoor
Ayushmann rules the heart of his millions of fans not just for his spectacular acting but also for his film choices. His movies are revolutionary questioning various taboos prevalent in Indian society from erectile dysfunction to homosexuality. His role of a gay man in Bollywood’s first gay romcom Shubh Mangal Saavdhan is a game changer for LGBTQ+ representation in Indian cinema normalising same-sex relationship on the big screen.
Sonam Kapoor is vocal in her support for LGBTQ+ rights in India for more than a decade. She has done everything from supporting queer events like the Kashish Mumbai International Queer Film Festival to playing role of Sweety, a closeted lesbian in film Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga to raise awareness about gay rights. According to her “A person’s sexuality is something one is born with, and it is high time people understand that, be it a man or a woman; it’s a basic human right. It’s not about lesbian, gay, male, female or transsexual. It’s about being able to be who you want to be and being somebody who is just themselves.”
Nandita Das Nandita has actively taken part in many panel discussions and gay events like Hijra Habba to raise awareness in society. She played the role of a lesbian in 1998’s Fire i.e. long before most of the people in India even knew about homosexuality.
Celina Jaitly
Divya Dutta
Former Miss India Celina Jaitly is one of the earliest supporters of LGBTQ+ rights. Her real-life interactions with her teen boyfriend coming out as a gay man to her transgender make-up artist made her realise the importance of acceptance. She has been closely working with NGOs and the UN to support gay rights as she feels that fighting for their rights is her duty.
Actress who will be seen playing Swara Bhasker’s love interest, in Faraz Arif Ansari’s upcoming film Sheer Khurma, says “I am extremely close to the LGBTQIA+ community and I feel they have the right to live the way they want to live and express themselves and not be undercover and hide. I, on my part, try to be part of the change. A few times, some of my friends came out to me first, and it felt good to be there and celebrate that moment with them. We must all celebrate them.”
“Nowadays filmmakers are afraid to clash” Gadar director Anil Sharma on clashing with Lagaan F
ilmmakers nowadays put a lot of thought on finding the perfect release date for their film, making sure no two big films collide with each other. This is done so that their film gets undivided attention from the audience. However 20 years ago on 15th of July two films i.e. Gadar and Lagaan were released and both created history in Indian cinema. It was neither the first time two big movies clashed nor the first or last time both performed well, Dil and Ghayal had also clashed earlier and both were successful however the euphoria Gadar and Lagaan generated across the country was far massive. Even their accolades were shared – if the Ashutosh Gowariker’s Lagaan walked away with most of the award, including an Oscar nomination no less, then the Anil Sharma’s Gadar created facebook.com/pkglifestyle
history at the box office en route to becoming the highest grossing film ever in Indian cinema at the time. Anil Sharma in an interview revealed that both films created nothing short of a festival across the nation. “The date, 15th June 2000, was a festival for cinema. Lagaan was also a very good film, I had seen it in the theatre, really enjoyed it and clapped a lot – it was really a great film and brought India a lot of honour. So it had worked very well, Gadar had also worked very well and a festival atmosphere was created throughout India. If people used to watch the 12 pm show of Lagaan, they’d go and see the 3 pm show of Gadar, and if they’d watch the 12 pm show of Gadar, then they’d see the 3 pm show of Lagaan, making it a craze, a festival for cinema all over India, instgram.com/pkglifestyle
created a lot of love for cinema in the country, and motivated many people to make good films. So, it wasn’t as much a clash as it was a celebration,” He also expressed his disappointment in the fact that makers these days are scared of clashing with each other in theatres, thus stifling the prospect of
twitter.com/pkglifestyle
another such festive atmosphere, Anilji added, “I wish that this happens every year that we get two such films yearly, but films are not clashing anymore. Nowadays people are afraid to clash – either your film should come or mine is their thought. Those days, both makers were confident about their films and
Info@pkglifestylenews.com
were so sure that forget two, even six films could release simultaneously and work, who’d want to see them, would see them. Today, too, people watch 6-8 episodes on OTT in a stretch at home during lockdown, so they still have the stamina to watch, they watch if they wish to. But, filmmakers don’t have the same confidence now, they want to make a whack with their initial in three days and be satisfied. Earlier, people used to look forward to their film running a minimum of 25 weeks, now they’re not even interested in them running for three weekends, why are they so scared? It’s not like we don’t have good filmmakers today, we do, but somehow that perception, that feel, that mindset has changed. But we’ve seen it can still happen with an Avenger and a Baahubali. People no longer have faith

on their own capacity; their capacity only has become zero.” The filmmaker wishes that the industry sees more such Lagaans and Gadars, “I hope that those days of festivals and celebrations of cinema happen again every year, we all should hope that. At least, one film a year like Lagaan and Gadar should come on a Friday, where makers aren’t afraid which films they clash with. Instead, such films would compensate each other, hug each other and move forward, praise each other, and then you see how much fun everyone would have – public, cinema halls and the industry, all would have fun, that’s the atmosphere we need to create, that’s the dreamy atmosphere which had occurred between Lagaan and Gadar. I wish this atmosphere takes place at least once every year.” He concluded.

Kim Kardashian opens up on what went wrong with her marriage to Kanye West Kim Kardashian and Kanye West made one of the Hollywood’s most famous and powerful couple however unfortunately their marriage is going down for a while now. The couple which was married for 7 years announced just a few months back that they were going their separate ways. Last week’s Keeping Up With The Kardashian’s showcased Kim’s emotional breakdown where she went on to cry out loud “I feel like a f**king failure, that it’s like, a third f–king marriage,” “Yeah I feel like a f**king loser. But I can’t even think about that like, I want to be happy.” As their reality show aired its final episode the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan was invited as guest on Andy Cohen’s show on E! Where Kim revealed, “I just feel like I’ve worked so hard in life to achieve everything that I’ve wanted to, and I’ve lived up to my expectations and achieved 10 times more than I even thought was humanly possible, but I don’t have a life to share that with,” she told her mother, 65. “Like, I do, obviously my kids and everything, but am I just going to sit here and think, ‘OK, my kids fulfil me and I’m good?’” She went on to talk about the long-distance

marriage she shared with West and how it took a toll on their relationship. She said while Kanye travelled “from state to state” for his concerts she never thought she was “lonely,” these feelings changed post her 40th birthday in October 2020. “After turning 40 this year, I realized like, ‘No I don’t want a husband that lives in a completely different state,’” she added. “To me, I thought, ‘Oh, my God, that’s when we’re getting along the best,’ but then that is sad to me and that’s not what I want. I want someone that we have the same shows in common. I want someone who wants to work out with me.” Kim also pointed that she envied her sister Khloe and her relationship with Tristan. “Like, every single day Khloé and Tristan and I would work out at 6 a.m., the three of us, and I was third-wheeling it for a good eight months in quarantine and I was so envious of that,” Kim continued. “I was like, ‘Wow, it’s, like, the little things I don’t have.’ I have all the big things. I have the extravagant everything you can possibly imagine and no one will ever do it like that, I know that and I’m grateful for those experiences, but I think I’m ready for the smaller experiences that I think will mean a lot.”
Celebrity model Kendall Jenner and her boyfriend, NBA player Devin Booker celebrated their one year anniversary.

Talking about it she said “We [Zayn and me] think about it and talk about it a lot as partners and it’s something that’s really important to us, but it’s also something that we first experienced ourselves,” she started. “Because both of our parents have their own heritage, We are that first generation of those mixed races, and then that comes with that first generational experience of being like, ‘Oh damn, I’m the bridge!’. That’s not something that my parents experienced or that they can really help me through. It’s something I’ve always thought about my whole life.” “In certain situations, I feel–or I’m made to feel–that I’m too white to stand up for part of my Arab instgram.com/pkglifestyle
heritage,” Hadid continued. “You go through life trying to figure out where you fit in racially. Is what I am, or what I have, enough to do what I feel is right? But then, also, is that taking advantage of the privilege of having the whiteness within me, right? Am I allowed to speak for this side of me, or is that speaking on something that I don’t experience enough to know? Do you know what I’m saying?” “I think that Khai will grow up feeling out the way that she can or wants to be a bridge for her different ethnicities,” Hadid said. “But I think that it will be nice to be able to have those conversations, and see where she comes from [with] it, without us putting that onto her. What comes from her is what I’m most excited about, and being able to add to that or answer her questions, you know?” twitter.com/pkglifestyle

Incredible Benefits of Castor Oil by
Dr. Blossom Kochhar
We all must have seen people using castor oil in multiple ways. From hair care to treating arthritis, castor oil has so many properties that can benefit hair, skin, joint pain, body ache, feet care, etc. Castor oil is extracted from castor beans. It can be used as per its composition. It can be consumed, used for hair and skincare, used in pharmaceuticals and others. Castor oil is thick in texture and rich in moisturisation, hence, it should be used in small quantities or as recommended by experts. Blossom Kochhar Aroma Magic Castor Oil is ideal and multi-purpose oil. It can be used for the benefits of the face, hair and body as well.
Incredible Benefits of Castor Oil Let’s understand the various uses of castor oil with benefits:
For Face Moisturiser: After cleaning the face, always apply a moisturiser, as moisturisation is the only key to healthy skin. Take 1 to 2 drops of castor oil, spread it on fingertips and apply all over the face and neck. Alternatively, it can be mixed with daily moisturiser and applied. Lip Balm: To prepare a perfect lip moisturiser with castor oil, take some amount of beeswax, 1 tablespoon of castor oil, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and 1/2 tablespoon of aloe vera gel and mix well. Apply it every morning and night or whenever required. This will help to keep the lips moisturised,
hydrated and naturally pink. Remove Dark Spots: Take a few drops of castor oil and an equal number of drops of coconut oil. Mix well and apply to the affected area on the face. Castor oil with coconut oil works best to remove dark spots. This can be applied to dark circles as well. Eye Care: Puffiness of the eyes or swelling can be treated with castor oil. Take a few drops of castor oil on the palm or in a bowl and take one earbud. Apply it on the area around the eyes with an earbud or using a ring finger, massage gently in a circular motion. This will enhance blood circulation and relax the eyes. The same can be used on the eyebrows for healthy growth. Anti-Aging Solution: It is the purest and easiest way to deal with anti-aging. Since it keeps the skin moisturised with regular use, this can help to keep the wrinkles and fines line away. It is also suitable to treat blemishes and premature aging.
For Hair Hair Fall Treatment: To prevent hair fall and promote hair growth, apply castor oil to the scalp and on hairs. Castor oil is thick in texture which can make it difficult to apply. Take 1 tablespoon of castor oil or more depending upon the hair length and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Heat the oil slightly and massage with it onto the scalp and all over the hair. Apply it twice a week. This will help in preventing hair fall, strengthening roots, and will also promote hair growth. Dandruff and Dryness: To protect the hair together from dandruff and dryness, castor oil can work best. Take some castor oil as per the hair length, mix 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in it and add a few drops of Blossom Kochhar Aroma Magic Flaky Hair Oil in it. Mix well and apply the mixture onto the scalp and hair. This will help to control dandruff, relieve itchy scalp, and balance the pH level of the scalp.
For Body
Joint Pain or Arthritis: Castor oil has ricinoleic acid that helps to reduce swelling and pain. It can also treat arthritis. To relieve joint pain and arthritis, take some castor oil and heat it. Apply it over the pain area and massage for a few minutes. Use a hot pack after massaging so that oil can be absorbed deeply into the skin layers and a heat pack can also relax the muscles. Body Massage: Body Massage can keep the body relaxed, prevent stress, and can also relieve the body from any pains or muscle stiffness.

countries in the world. But how seriously do we take the motto of unity in diversity? Actress Lin Laishram, who has worked in prominent Bollywood films such as Om Shanti Om, Mary Kom, Axone, and Rangoon, recently spoke about the discrimination Northeast Indians have to face in their own country. The Manipuri actress who has represented North East on a global podium feels that her homeland isn’t represented or welcomed as it should be when it comes to accepting her as any other Indian, be it in reel or real life. Lin also spoke that how North Easterners don’t have anything to relate to when it comes to Bollywood, with the rare ones badly done by wearing bizarre tribal costumes and talking gibberish. She says, “The only person that belonged to the North East was Danny Denzongpa but we couldn’t relate to him either because he spoke fluent Hindi which most of us didn’t. By the time Bollywood discovered us, we had already entered our films on the global platform with Aribam Syam Sharma’s masterpiece Imagi Ningthem winning Golden Montgolfiere at the Festival des 3 continents, Nantes in 1982.” Laishram criticised the casting decisions which were made for film Mary Kom. She states “I admire Priyanka for her hard work; she really put in a lot of hours in order to look like Mary Kom but I always felt that casting is an important step in film. I believe in authenticity and inclusivity, so a girl from Manipur or the North East could have been surely cast to represent us.” Putting light on the racism
prevalent in the industry she said, “One is approached to play stereotypical roles like a spa girl, prostitute or a waiter. Not that playing these characters demeans an actor but it’s how we are seen and typecast. It is little knowledge about our culture that bothers us. When it comes to playing an achiever from the Northeast a nonNorth Eastern person is chosen as seen in Mary Kom. On the other hand, why not cast people from Northeast also as normal Indians in all walks of life which we are.” Lin also mentioned Family man 2 saying “The latest example of great inclusivity is The Family Man 2. In the show, people are cast from Tamil Nadu and speak Tamil, representing their local culture and ethnicity, and it has been so widely accepted and appreciated. So, if south Indian culture can be accepted then why not North Eastern?” The discrimination against people from Northeast is not just limited to bollywood but can also be seen in our society. Speaking of her most horrifying encounter to date, Laishram says, “When I dropped off my parents at the airport and was heading back home, I was followed by two men who kept calling me ‘coronavirus’, to the point of physical aggression. It was really scary. “I felt helpless and angry because there were a lot of people from the North East suffering in different ways. They were denied groceries, some girls were spat on the road and students were thrown out of their PGs and hostels. It was sickening to believe that we will be treated in such a manner in our own country,” she adds. However Lin is not among giving up types her mantra is to keep striving and hoping that things will change for the better.
