Asked about his opinion on gay rights in the country, Amal said: “We have over-hyped the whole issue. In India, sex is still a taboo. Physical intimacy and sexual preference are two different things.

“What is important is the inner feeling. I know so many wonderful people who have different sexual preferences.”

The short film will be released on the YouTube channel Nazar Battu Productions on Friday.
