1. A lot of people are uncomfortable doing a scene with the same sex on the screen and in your web series Hello Mini you’ve kissed a female. How was the experience?

– Ya, I had a scene of kissing my same-sex co-actor even though we didn’t play a bisexual or lesbian character in the show it was kind of the requirement of the script to establish certain characteristics of our characters. I wasn’t uncomfortable at all I was way more comfortable doing it than I’ve ever been with an opposite-sex co-actor. I guess it’s all in the mind how to take it. If it’s the need of the script as actors we should have that kind of freedom and comfort.

2. Many people are homophobic but web series like these aims at normalizing the fact that a lesbian or gay loves the same way as a straight person. Tell us your views about it.

Homophobia is a word I still don’t understand. I mean as human beings we have our orientation and if we choose to have the same-sex partner that’s absolutely the individuals call and no one should have the right or authority to judge anyone based on that. Priya Banerjee I believe each one of us has the right to choose who we want to be with and no one can dictate that for us.

3. Do believe that the entertainment industry and web series like Made in Haven, Maaya, Hello Mini, etc play an important role in creating a mindset and liberates us into accepting the fact that being gay is normal.

– Well absolutely and not only on the ott platforms also movies like Shubh mangal zyada savdhan has proved that people have become much more accepting and open-minded to this idea of same-sex marriage.

4. Do you think every community should be celebrated for the whole year and not just for a month?

– It’s amazing how a whole month is dedicated to this. It should be respected and celebrated throughout the year. Society has become much more accepting and it’s nice to see how many people are now able to come out and accept their orientation without any fear of judgment.
