Ameesha Patel makes homophobic comments while promoting ‘Gadar 2’

Ameesha Patel has been accused of making homophobic comments during the promotions of her upcoming film ‘Gadar 2’.

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Patel said that the audiences were hungry for “clean entertainment”, which cannot be found on OTT platforms. She said, “People are waiting for good, clean cinema. The era where you could make cinema that a grandchild could sit and watch with a grandparent is completely missing. OTT for sure doesn’t give you that. Because OTT is full of, homosexuality, gay-lesbianism… Scenes that you have to cover your kids’ eyes or actually put a child lock on your television so they can’t access those platforms. It’s not something you really want your kids to watch.

“Indians couldn’t travel that much, we didn’t have that much fashion. Everything that you wanted was through cinema… We didn’t even have an organised music industry. You depended on film music; costumes, fashion, everything came from cinema, and I think people are missing that essence. Gadar, they feel, is an answer to that,” she added.
