Today, the generation is very smart and they have more exposure than people born during the 90s. However, During the 90s a filmmaker like Onir came forward and made movies about the LGBTQ community and HIV Aids. Onir's movie 'My Brother...Nikhil' was a hit and releasing that movie was a bold move by him because such topics are taboo even today in the Bollywood industry.

However, the Ministry of Defence has rejected his proposal to make the movie. Listen to this podcast where Onair talks about his new movie and his journey of coming out and becoming a role model for everyone who follows him and who has watched his movies.
