In an emotional conversation, he concluded that he is leaving his family and moving abroad as he does not have enough faith in homosexuals rights in India and he might have to face allot of problems continue living here.

In a ploy
that reeks of a possible publicity stunt, actor Jackie Shroff was
trending on Twitter on Friday, after he apparently told a website that
he was gay in the later phase of his career. The news soon went viral
on different websites. When contacted by After Hrs, Jackie insisted
that he 'is not gay' and denied that he ever spoke to anybody of being
so. Jackie informed that he is shooting in Mysore and not aware of the
goings on in cyber space. The source Jackie apparently spoke to could
not be located. |
