'Abhay Deol is queer', say fans as actor discusses sexuality and says 'embraced all experiences'
Abhay Deol refuses to define his sexuality. He doesn't want to be labelled as he has embraced all kinds of experiences in his life. Has he come out? Is he a queer or just a narcissist? Fans are speculating.
Abhay Deol never minces his words. He calls a spade a spade. Be it his tiff with Anurag Kashyap to dissing Bollywood stars for blindly promoting fairness creams, the Dev D actor always stands up for what he believes in. Recently in an interview, he refused to define his sexuality saying that he has embraced all kinds of experiences. His statement has left fans curious. Some of them are even wondering if he has come out.
Abhay Deol's controversial statement on sexuality
In an interview with Dirty Magazine, the actor said, "As a spectrum. I refuse the Western way of identifying s*xuality because it's so black and white. The Eastern approach is so different, it recognises the whole of us. I don't define my s*xuality, and this might sound controversial but for me it's not something that I think can be defined."
Furthermore, he stated that he has embraced all kinds of experiences in his life, and hence, he doesn't want to label them. He also said that all of us have feminine and masculine sides both. "So in my opinion we are all they/them," he added.
His statement has left fans confused and they are wondering if he has come out, the process by which people who are LGBTQ accept their sexual orientation or gender identity and share that the same openly with other people.
