Kareena pays tribute to her strong LGBTQ fanbase

Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan has been a huge advocate of the vibrant LGBTQ community for years now. The actress has passionately defended gay rights and always believes in accepting people for who they are. No wonder she has been long beloved by the community and almost every second gay man in India seems to be an ardent fan of her. Khan, who has been mesmerising audiences for two decades now, has always received oodles of love from the community.

Expressing her love and gratitude towards the LGBTQ community, Kareena Kapoor Khan said in a recent interview, “I love you guys! I love the fact that you always shower me with so much love. I am all for transparency and both Saif (Ali Khan) and I are people who live life transparently and have friends all over the world from the LGBTQ community. We are open-hearted and open-minded and that's the way I look forward to bringing up my children. We talk to them about issues pertaining to the community and I feel that’s how it should be.”


She continued, “Even calling them ‘different’ is something I don't like. We are one. That's the whole idea. Why are people even saying that ‘this is different’? No! We're all the same with our hearts, lungs, and liver so why are we seeing them in any other way? That's the way I think and that's the way I'll always bring up my boys to think also.”

On the work front, Kareena Kapoor Khan next will be seen in Laal Singh Chaddha. The film reunites her with Aamir Khan after a long gap of nine years. Directed by Advait Chandan, Laal Singh Chaddha is scheduled to release on February 14, 2022.

The Kerala actress assault case explained: How it is changing industry culture in Malayalam cinema

Highlights:

  • February 2017: Actress abducted and sexually assaulted; case reported the next day.
  • Legal journey: Trial ran nearly nine years, with witnesses turning hostile and evidence disputes.
  • Verdict: Six accused convicted; actor Dileep acquitted of conspiracy in December 2025.
  • Industry impact: Led to WCC, Hema Committee report, and exposure of systemic harassment.
  • Aftermath: Protests, public backlash, and survivor’s statement questioning justice and equality.

You arrive in Kochi, and it feels like the sea air makes everything slightly sharper; faces in the city look purposeful, a film poster peels at the corner of a wall. In a city that has cradled a thriving film industry for decades, a single crime on the night of 17 February 2017 ruptured the ordinary: an abduction, a recorded sexual assault and a survivor who reported it the next day. What happened next is every woman’s unspoken nightmare, weaponised into brutal reality. It was a public unpeeling of an industry’s power structures, a slow-motion fight over evidence and testimony, and a national debate about how institutions protect (or fail) women.

For over eight years, her fight for justice became a mirror held up to an entire industry and a society. It was a journey from the dark confines of that car to the glaring lights of a courtroom, from being a silenced victim to becoming a defiant survivor whose voice sparked a revolution. This is not just the story of a crime. It is the story of what happens when one woman says, "Enough," and the tremors that follow.
