Veteran actor Anil Kapoor has quite the knack of making Indian versions of popular Hollywood TV series. After acquiring remake rights for multiple-Emmy-winning American sitcom 'Modern Family', Kapoor said he has his priorities straight. In an interview, the actor said he is prepared to fight the rigid censorship that persists in Indian TV and films to make sure the series retains its original essence.
For those who don't know, two of the main characters on the show are a gay couple with an adopted Vietnamese daughter. Kapoor looks forward to keep the element in his adaptation of the show. "That is the whole point. I honestly won't do 'Modern Family' if the same-sex couple were to be eliminated. Indian TV needs a progressive show like that, it absolutely does." The statements came at a time when his daughter Sonam also spoke out in support of the LGBTQ community at Kashish Film Festival.
"Most of my fans are either straight women, gay men or lesbians. If they support me, I've got to support them. In the years to come, I hope this stops being a LGBT film festival and just becomes a regular film festival. Hopefully, one day there won't be any labels," she said.
