Changing Mindsets
Jab main homosexuals ko dekhti thi, main hasti thi aur mere dost bhi
mazaak udate the. Aaj yeh show dekhne ke baad mujhe sharmindgi
mehsoos ho rahi hai. Main promise karti hoon ki aaj ke baad aisa bilkul
nahin karungi. Main LGBT individuals ke saath baatein karungi, dosti
karungi, aur mere friends ko bhi main yeh kahungi.

Iss episode se aaj meri soch badli hai. Main pehle hijra community se
darti thi par ab main unka respect karungi. Thanks ki aapne meri soch
badaldi.

In 2013, I came out to my 70-year-old parents living in Pune. It was
difficult for them to assimilate all the facts. Since I work in Hyderabad, I
too had been trying to explain to them over a period of time with some
difficulty. After watching the show, mom thinks that my being gay is not
an abnormality.
Raunak
My mother who stays in Virar, Mumbai watched the repeat telecast of the
episode. I had come out to her six months ago but she was not accepting
me. Even though there is not much change in her attitude, my aunt, uncle
and cousin have become far more comfortable with my sexuality. My
uncle has even offered to come and volunteer with The Humsafar Trust.

This episode changed my attitude towards homosexuals. I respect them
as they are one of us and I can feel their pain and suffering. Thanks for
changing my mindset!
