No Picture BigBoyMayan	Posted On Oct 10, 2024 To begin with, one of the most famous gay people is Karan Johar. Obviously, he is no activist and is known to be openly gay in his private circle and stays comfortable about being gay even though he never directly talks about it.
No Picture Slim_mature_bot	Posted On Oct 10, 2024 @BigBoyMayan: KJo came out publicly 2-3-4 years ago. Since then he keeps talking about his orientation. Along with him is Manish Malhotra. Cannot forget the late Wendell Rodrigues, one of the earliest openly gay men in India. One of the closetted gays, but known to very few in the most inner circles was one of the most respected businessmen; he just passed. Everyone knows about the Gujju Prince who is also an activist. Also, the guy from the Suri family owning the Lalit Hotels. Then Saurabh Kirpal, the Delhi High Court judge. These are just a few, to get the list started.
No Picture turnip57	Posted On Oct 10, 2024 @Slim_mature_bot - I hope you are not referring to Ratan Tata in the 2nd paragraph
No Picture Hunkyboy	Posted On Oct 10, 2024 @turnip57 how can you even think such things about a great pure soul
No Picture Andy69luv	Posted On Oct 11, 2024 Just because some one not married in his lifetime you cannot call him names
No Picture uncletop	Posted On Oct 11, 2024 Famous people go abroad for gay fun .....In india it is risky as people won't let them live in peace.
No Picture turnip57	Posted On Oct 11, 2024 @hunkyboy @andy69luv I am not calling anyone names. I also have a great respect for him. I just asked because @slim_mature_bot mentioned "one of the most requested businessmen; he just passed" and since it was all over the social media and news yesterday, that was the first name that came into my mind. However that wasn't the only reason. I googled for it and found this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/unitedstatesofindia/comments/18jid9p/ratan_tata_speaking_on_ever_being_in_love_with/ Now, if you scroll down in its comments section, you'll find a comment claiming the same thing about being known in the inner most circle. So, that's that.🤷‍♂️
No Picture NIKCOOL	Posted On Oct 11, 2024 **Chirag Paswan** He is a member of loksabha, he is in a relationship with Vishal Singh. Both are in Paris these days, enjoy the vaction together. You can check them on Instagram. Vishal has posted the Pics and Chirag is posting the stories.
No Picture d_raj *	Posted On Oct 11, 2024 Totally Agree @NIKCOOL... Chirag Paswan... Vishal Singh are TOGETHER in the same Hotel...most Probably SAME ROOM as both of them shared the same picture from their Balcony of Eiffel Tower with those red flowers...i just checked !!!!!!!LOL
No Picture Cryptic	Posted On Oct 11, 2024 Not just a Member of Parliament, he is our minister for Food Processing. Pretty big if he comes out.
No Picture CuddleBear	Posted On Oct 11, 2024 That Vishal Singh guy looks like a total pure bottom queen 💅
No Picture BigBoyMayan	Posted On Oct 12, 2024 @Hunkyboy, you are saying that if Ratan Tata was gay, he wouldn't be a "great pure soul"? Are you saying that being gay is somehow bad? Impure? That if someone is gay they will not be a good person or below the threshold to be considered great or even good? What a moronic view to have. Such internalized homophobia is one of the biggest problem of our society. You seem to be living in a well all your life if you are not aware of Ratan Tata and his sexual orientation. Sure, he has never confirmed it or came out as gay but just look up his history, the "story" that was spinned about why he didn't marry and then, recently his relationship with Shantanu Naidu. Sure, it has been painted to the world as a Mentor/Mentee relationship. But just look at the details of their relationship and stories. Asking Shantanu Naidu to be his "personal assistant" even though he is a Cornell University graduate who could take on management role. Shantanu buying an expensive shirt to match the one Tata was earning. Organizing midnight birthday surprises. And then, finally, Shantanu, leading the funeral rites for Tata. Look it up and you'll be blind to see if you do not reach a conclusion that is so glaringly obvious.
No Picture vijayanon	Posted On Oct 12, 2024 Hunkyboy, do imply that those who are gays are impure souls?
No Picture BICURIOUSMAN	Posted On Oct 12, 2024 Is it true about the Industrialist who has recently expired?
No Picture BigBoyMayan	Posted On Oct 12, 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax9fsAtj7ww Look at the title of this video: Meet Shantanu Naidu: Millennial Who Won Ratan Tata's Heart. Yes, It does not say, he impressed Tata, nor anything related to mentorship or anything like that. He won Ratan Tata's "Heart". Now go to all such videos from the past few years related to Shantanu Naidu and Tata. Most of the videos are in the same vein. It was an open secret but of course, none of the mainstream media will directly say it, Tata being such a towering figure in the Public sphere in India. So do we still stay in denial about the truth?
No Picture BigBoyMayan	Posted On Oct 12, 2024 Moving on, my favorite famous personality happens to be Ashok Row Kavi. Without doubt the first openly gay famous person. Not only that, he is an activist and found the first Indian gay magazine Bombay Dost and the first Indian LGBT NGO The Humsafar Trust. A legend for the gay people of India.
No Picture satish1789	Posted On Oct 12, 2024 Guys, can you people please stop talking about Chirag Paswan and Vishal Singh, they are relatives! Vishal Singh's mother is half sister of Chirag Paswan, Chirag Paswan and the children from his father's first wife have huge age gap. Please stop this rubbish. Chirag Paswan is like a mama to vishal singh but they have only lie 3 years age gap.
No Picture satish1789	Posted On Oct 12, 2024 @NIKCOOL @d_raj @Cryptic @CuddleBear Please come to your senses, Chirag Paswan and Vishal Singh are relatives.
No Picture vijayanon	Posted On Oct 12, 2024 @Hunkyboy, do you imply that gays too inferior to be 'pure souls'?
No Picture Slim_mature_bot	Posted On Oct 13, 2024 @BigBoyMayan: thank you for bringing up ARK. I couldn't agree more. His contribution to gay rights movement is unparallel, especially considering the times when he started it. We owe a lot to him. Also notable is author Vikram Seth. He too came out as bisexual a long-time ago, in a way normalising bisexuality. He too has signifcantly contributed to the gay rights movement and the writing down of Sec 377.
No Picture love_cruising	Posted On Oct 13, 2024 Keshav Suri, the owner of Lalit Hotels is another big name.
No Picture Slim_mature_bot	Posted On Oct 13, 2024 Speaking of openly gay politicians, Anish Gawande, Spokesperson, NCP (Pawar)
No Picture s_01	Posted On Oct 13, 2024 Chef Vikas khanna. Lot of rumours.. ofcourse no one can be 💯 sure.. there are days when eben I am not sure of myself ..lol
No Picture Sardartop33	Posted On Oct 14, 2024 Well chirag paswan and Vishal singh seem to be in the same paris hotel room with v singh only in a bath robe I would be dumb to dismiss any thing seeing the pics
No Picture Rajivstud2	Posted On Oct 14, 2024 @satish1789...please stop being in denial... I have seen several videos of them together. Nowhere have they mentioned that they have a Uncle /Nephew relationship. In one video, on Vishals birthday, Chirag addressed their relationship. He said that their fathers knew each from a long time and so did their mothers. If they were Uncle - Nephew or Cousins, wouldn't he have just said that directly? Also, now when their pics went viral on Twitter and Instagram and everyone is speculating about their relationship, they have not issued any statement or clarification so far. If they were related, a simple post on Twitter or Instagram would have stopped all speculation. To everyone who thinks that saying Ratan Tata was gay is insulting to the great man : what is with your internalised Homophobia? As bigboymayan has mentioned, media has played coy around him for decades regarding his sexuality. There have been vague articles reasoning why he remained unmarried. But most people in the elite circles knew the real reason. I have worked in a Tata group company and a lot of people who were old timers and seniors who had spent many years in Tata group used to discuss this topic and they all had pretty much confirmed that he was gay. Also google Ratan Tata with Dino morea or John Abraham.
No Picture aghostyx	Posted On Oct 15, 2024 Maybe we add rumours also for famous peoples. First rumour is for tushar kapoor. he not married and adopted child also even while being single. as per my gaydar sense he is gay mostly.
No Picture Neeta	Posted On Oct 15, 2024 Someone had posted about massaging Vikas Khanna in Mumbai few years ago. They had said rhat Vikas came to thwir soa, asked for a male therapist. The therapist used to be active on ohmojo. He mentioned that Vikas.just dropped his pants and underwear and had a nude massage...wanted to get his glutes massaged. He was limp the whole time...so may be a bottom.
No Picture Carrey_love	Posted On Oct 15, 2024 Very interesting thread.... Go on guys....
No Picture fredie33	Posted On Oct 15, 2024 Even bhansali is queer...lot of queers in Bollywood but very few say it openly...
No Picture fredie33	Posted On Oct 15, 2024 Akshay khanna is also one queer person
No Picture Rajivstud2	Posted On Oct 15, 2024 So is his brother Rahul Khanna
No Picture BodyPlayAmberna	Posted On Oct 15, 2024 Also heard about Terence Lewis, not sure if it is a rumour.
No Picture fredie33	Posted On Oct 15, 2024 Also Narendra modi... He left his wife n join rss... And the way he hugs all the male leaders n heads of state from world over makes one think that he is queer...
No Picture sanjay6787	Posted On Oct 15, 2024 @rajivstud2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwpCjecS66w He himself in the very same video sai "Vishal is mere liye parivar", Chirag Paswan was born to Ram Vilas Paswan's second wife who has no relation with, mother of Vishal Singh who is daughter of Ram Vilas Paswan, Check Vishal Singh's mother account, check vishal singhs mother name father name and deatils of ram vilas paswans daughters names, Ram Vilas Paswan has 2 daughters from his first wife, one is Vishal Singh's mother. Since he was born to an affair, Chirag Paswan didnt have much connection with his half sisters who were basically very elder to him. He said right their family relationship is from decades? The reason he didnt address him directly as relative and just said their families were related since decades, and their fathers and mothers relation is sol old, is because he is born out of an affair,simple. You are talking as if Vishal Singh is the most attractive bottom and as if irreplaceable, On top of it, Vishal Singh had s*xual relations with many, in case of your assumption that he is gay, a person that rich and influential why would he go for a simpleton, not so best, andone who had many relations prior ? Simple thing is they are related, but since he was ostracised he didnt directly refer to him as relative but just said they are related. Also how will he tell people about their relation, How can he say "mama bhanja" when its not his real sister, and hence he just said related thats it
No Picture Cryptic	Posted On Oct 15, 2024 Who's born out of affairs, you yourself mention RV Paswan's two marriages and then go on to say he was born out of wedlock.
No Picture Cryptic	Posted On Oct 15, 2024 Ok. FWIW, Vishal Singh 's mother as identified on his Instagram posts are not Chirag Paswan 's half sisters- Usha and Asha Paswan from Ram Vilas's first marriage. They might still be related but Vishal Singh is not born to Chirag Paswan's half sisters as claimed by Sanjay above. Also one of the pics posed by Vishal on his insta from his Paris suite has his legs peeking out of his bathrobe. Not exactly a bhanja posing for his mama.
No Picture sanjay6787	Posted On Oct 15, 2024 @Cryptic sorry, actually what happened was Ram Vilas Paswan had affair with an air hostess Reena Sharma, He married her without being divorced, in order to escape criticism and save face he said he divorced his first wife, the joke is his first wife is illiterate and doesn't even know how to divorce or how divorce proceedings happen, It was all a lie, she never had been to a court or approached any lawyer for divorce. Just like how Dharmendra married Hema Malini same, Did you see Esha Deol and Sunny Deol together until recently? No, they were never in contact and came closer only recently. Same way Arjun Kapoor and Janhvi Kapoor
No Picture sanjay6787	Posted On Oct 15, 2024 @Cryptic https://www.instagram.com/p/DA8OtbwMcLY/?hl=en&img_index=2 If legs are peeking out of his bathrobe, whats the issue in it? And did he say he posed for Chirag? whats so shocking in this, Men are always like this even in Bihar u see men bathing in towels in public, And what this picture has to do with CHirag Paswan? I dont hate you, Actually usha paswan real name is Usha Devi, she is married to Dhananjay Kumar, When Dhananjay Kumar entered politics he used the name "Mrinal Paswan", you can see Vishal Singh follows his mom in insta, in her insta she posted her husband pics too, this is a faceook page associated to her husband - https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=408361967956028&set=a.408361927956032 , and in this instagram pic, u can see their family pic, https://www.instagram.com/p/C_Ixtsuumhn/?hl=en&img_index=1 , u can check her other insta pictures too, Vishal SInghs mother instagram account : https://www.instagram.com/singh_usha_198?hl=en Vishal SInghs father Dhananjay Kumar alias Mrinal Paswan facebook pages : https://www.facebook.com/Dhananjaykumarmrinalpaswan Hope everyone checks twice before they come to conclusions, If you want, go and verify each detail I have provided here.
No Picture Rajivstud2	Posted On Oct 15, 2024 @Sanjay6787. Your attempt to explain is even more confusing. If I try to make some sense, Vishal is the son of Ram Vilas Paswans daughter from his first wife while Chirag is RVPs son from his 2nd marraige. So that makes Chirag as Vishals Mama. How does no one know that Vishal Singh is Ram Vilas Paswans grandson? Why is Chirag taking Vishal to every event from Modis swearing in ceremony to Ambani wedding to Ganesh Festival visits to diplomatic visit in Paris? Also what about rumors that Chirag is gay and quite a few people online have claimed that they know someone who has slept with him? I even read somewhere that he used to have a Brazilian boyfriend. And the fact that he remains unmarried at the age of 42 without a single link up with any woman? For someone who is dubbed as National Crush, that is unusual. Also, don't people from Bihar get married at a younger age than rest of the country? And he's a politician. They need to procreate to produce political heirs. A lot of these things don't add up. Ps: RVPs daughter and Vishal Singhs mother have the same first name so that part may be true.
No Picture Cryptic	Posted On Oct 16, 2024 RVP's daughter Usha is different from Vishal's mother Usha. Their respective pictures are available online. These are two different women with a common name.
No Picture Cryptic	Posted On Oct 16, 2024 Here is a post from Chirag's facebook where he identifies them his sister Usha , brother in law Mrinal and nephew Prince. Vishal nowhere in the picture. These are not Vishal's parents from his Instagram posts. Though there are several pictures of Vishal and Chirag's mothers together- so yes, they could be family friends dating back to when Chirag and Vishal were very young. https://www.facebook.com/150713861768785/posts/26579763205103824/?app=fbl
No Picture Rajivstud2	Posted On Oct 16, 2024 @Cryptic..ok then they are not related by blood. Why is @Sanjay6787 hell bent on proving that they are. First he said that Chirag is born out of wedlock, which as per Wikipedia, is correct. Chirag was born in 1982 while RVP got married to his mother in 1983. Next he claims that RVP never divorced his first wife. Wikipedia says they got divorced in 1981. His claim that Vishals mother Usha is RVPs daughter from his first marriage. But @Cryptic has just given photographic proof that these are two different Ushas. Finally he claims that Dhananjay Kumar aka Mrinal Paswan is Vishals father. But the Facebook page of Mrinal Paswan reveals that a guy called Sagar is his son and he looks nothing like either Vishal or his brother. Why this obfuscation by Sanjay6787? They maybe family friends but not actually related by blood. Which means that they may well be in a relationship together.
No Picture Smartboy040	Posted On Oct 16, 2024 Chiraj and Vishal r boyfrnds. Anyone trying to prove something or butt hurt by this information may get a psychological test done for himself. Denying what is very obvious to everyone and trying to be a ostrich putting head deep on same not going to help Mr sanjay
No Picture Smartboy040	Posted On Oct 16, 2024 Chiraj and Vishal r boyfrnds. Anyone trying to prove something or butt hurt by this information may get a psychological test done for himself. Denying what is very obvious to everyone and trying to be a ostrich putting head deep on sand not going to help Mr sanjay What u guys think about shubham gill and ishan kishan. I have videos where only these two r celebrating in hotel rooms while the team swims outside. Both r completely lost in each other's eyes whenever they r face to face
fifty	Posted On Oct 16, 2024 Saurabh Kirpal, is an advocate. The governement declined the supreme court's recommendation to appoint him as a judge. Reasons given were he is passionate about lgb t issues and his partner is a foreigner.
No Picture fredie33	Posted On Oct 16, 2024 If it's true about chirag n vishal... What a hot pair😍
No Picture Sandeephard	Posted On Oct 16, 2024 Most politicians and celebrities I hear about are very fluid in their sexuality. But these *** never use their power to create a conducive environment for other lgbtq people These politicians and their cadre on the ground are the worst of these bitches, they sleep around with men but don't pass any laws to protect our interests our help create awareness in society. But these same bitches will very easily speak on issues regarding religion, as if that religion is short of marketing. They will pay for religious pandals and processions (obviously from stolen taxpayers money) but never for lgbtq events. Hate these bastard gay celebs/politicians. 🤬🤬🤬
No Picture Sandeephard	Posted On Oct 16, 2024 Also, does anyone remember when news anchor Arab Goswami's chats got leaked. He sent a message to somebody saying "I gave a BJ to AS"
No Picture BICURIOUSMAN	Posted On Oct 17, 2024 @Sandeephard: Who might be this AS?
No Picture Str8lover *	Posted On Oct 17, 2024 @Sandeephard completely agree with you. Once this celebrity and politicians will start coming out and start supporting LGBTQIA’s community it will be much more easier for normal people. They don’t even have to get on road for pride and all. As majority of India. People follow Politicians, celebrities and cricketers. Also I hate so called straight guys. Who will say I’m straight I don’t kiss or do anything just like to get *** and ***. Sometimes feels that this people should be exposed.
