Miland Soman Made Me Gay & Gulabi Aaina (67mins)

Presented By: Trikone AustralAsia

This film dives into the memory-scape of four South Asian gay men living in Washington DC; one Hindu, one Muslim, one Christian and one Sikh… to reveal how each negotiates his sexual desire with his cultural and religious background. Underneath the nostalgic explorations of life back home lie harsh realities of homophobia and racism in America, and an on-going struggle to find a place of belonging.

Nikhil Kapoor is the state all-round swimming champion. His father, Navin Kapoor, has raised his son to be a sportsman. His elder sister, Anamika, teaches in a primary school and loves her brother dearly. His mother, Anita Rosario Kapoor, adores him and from her he inherited his artistic side to his personality.
