Out of the closet

We all know Sunjay Sharma’s Dunno Y.. Na Jaane Kyun is India’s first mainstream film portraying a serious homosexual relationship and most people have seen its passionate stills where its male protagonists are embracing each other.  But what one is not aware is who the other male, who has hidden his face behind Kapil Sharma’s face.

The other actor is a newcomer called Yuvraaj Parashar.  Yuvraaj’s character in the film has layers which the director wanted the audience to explore while watching the film as it unfolds. Yuvraaj, who plays a gay man in the film, says that his character has many shades.  “I am also romantically involved with Rituparna Sengupta in the film. All I can say is that it’s a very difficult role for any newcomer to play. The producers wanted to hide my character because they wanted to speak about it after the release of the film. But the news leaked out though I have nothing to do with giving out the story.”
