Deepak Parashar on being called gay
Deepak Parashar tells us, "I fall in love with everyone. Gender means nothing to me. For me, insaan achcha hona chahiye. Dil achcha hona chahiye. They should be genuine with me. Gender makes no difference to me, which many people have misinterpreted and misconstrued in the past."

Parashar continues, "Devyani Chaubal (a journalist) called me up and did a phone interview with me. She told me that she wanted to put me on the cover of Stardust but asked me to give her some sensational news. Then she told me, 'Deepak, you know you have a lot of male fans following.' I said, 'Yes, and I am so happy about it.' I was genuinely happy because everybody wanted to become like me."
