Yuvraaj Parasher, one of the actors who starred in the groundbreaking film Dunno Y…Na Jaane Kyun which included India’s first gay kissing scene has been disowned by his family before playing a homosexual on-screen and has been thrown out of his home, reports Times of India.
Yuvraaj’s father, Satish Parasher, makes clear that it is his own sense of shame that has driven him to cut ties with his son, saying, “When we heard about the poster and the things he has done in the film, we were shocked, hurt and humiliated. People will make fun of us and we won’t be able to live peacefully ever again.”
Drama perhaps runs in the family with what could be one of the most over-the-top, irrational, self-involved reactions by a family of a Bollywood actor; Satish continued:
We are a respected family and I’m appalled that he is playing a gay man’s role. We’re finished. All the dreams and hopes we had built around him are over. For just a film role, he has lost out on his blood ties. We don’t want to see his face ever… not even when we are dying.
