Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff dismisses reports that he gave an interview to a Pakistani website about his sexual preference and clarifies that he is not gay.
'Can you believe it? Bas ab yehi baqi reh gaya tha. Logon ko kaam-dhanda nahin hai. Bas, yehi sab... For the record, I've never spoken to any journalist on this subject and certainly made no such declaration. Main pagal hoon kya,' he said.
'In any case, what's the big deal about sexual preference? If one is gay, one is gay. If I was, I'd have no qualms in accepting it. But the fact is, I am most certainly not. And I'm surprised at the audacity of the journalist who cooked up this imaginary scandal,' added the 54-year-old
'My wife (Ayesha) and I had a good laugh over this. I just looked at her and she looked at me. We burst out laughing...'
The 'Hero' star says that instead of talking about this absurd nonsense about his sexuality, people should remember Bollywood legend Dev Anand, who died last week.
'It's so sad. The entertainment industry has just suffered a huge blow. We lost Dev saab. Instead of remembering him the news has now veered towards some absurd nonsense about my sexuality. Jeez! Man, we need to sober up,' said the actor who worked with Dev Anand in 'Swami Dada'.
Jackie is known for his roles in 'Yudh', 'Teri Meherbaniyan', 'Karma', 'Ram Lakhan', 'Lamhe' and 'Devdas'.
Now he is gearing up to launch his son Tiger.

thank for the awesome articles
It was wrong for the media 2 say he is gay when he clearly didn't...so many articles abt him being gay wer posted without evn quoting his comment or anything, i hpe he does file a case against those ppl cos they wer spreading incorrect rumours abt him..bt i guess he myt jus let this 1 go n 4gt abt it...
first of all, there was no need to bring up the journalists nationality, especially since shroff had nothing to say about it!! second, dude that's halarious! first i've heard about it and like him and his wife, having a hard time conceiling my laughter (its 4 am) and yah, sexuality shuold not be a big deal and someone who we all know of and respect (as actor/person) has passed away.. wait for some time before posting ridiculous information about others life!
