Bollywood’s leading male singer, Sonu Nigaam has accused Subhash K. Jha of sexual harrassment. Subhash is a senior film journalist and Sonu accused him of sending him lewd SMS messages and asking for sexual favors. We have had sexual harrassment, casting couch and other such scandals in Bollywood before. But this is probably the first time when a male star has accused another male personality for sexual harassment. Even though people including myself always thought Sonu Nigam looks so gay (look at the picture below). But now that he has denied the rumors I take his words. He is straight and so cute.

Sonu says that Subhash K Jha is openly gay and almost every body in the film industry knows that. Sonu also told that once Subhash got drunk and tried to misbehave with him and expressed his love (or may be lust) for the cute singer. When Sonu refused to entertain Subhash’s dirty desires, he started to write negative about him in his film columns. In an open letter to the Times of India Sonu wrote:

It’s not a secret in the industry that he is a homosexual. God bless him for homosexuals are normal people with just different sexual preferences, just like men lusting for women is not a taboo. But a man punishing a woman for not complying with his sexual advancement is an issue right? So why isn’t a man imposing upon another man an issue? Isn’t this a free world?

If someone can do this to me, I wonder what the new strugglers, models and actors have to go through in this industry? My heart goes out to them. Please let them know we are not living in a jungle where someone’s silence is taken as a sign of weakness by a beast! Let them know that homosexuals have their right to be themselves in this society, but so do heterosexuals!

This is no more a secret that there are gay celebrities. Gay Indian actors who live an openly gay life style but media still considers it a taboo to bring out this gay Bollywood actors, models, producers, directors, etc to light. There are men in Bollywood who ask for sexual favors not only to female new comers but men are also a target of their lustful desires. I think it is important that such people should be brought to justice so that talented people can make their way into the entertainment industry without fearing any sexual harassment.
