Ranbir willing to play gay

Actor Ranbir Kapoor says that had Pakistani actor Fawad Khan not “opened the door” by playing a homosexual character in Kapoor & Sons, he would have perhaps turned down an offer to play a gay on screen. But now the “Barfi!” star is receptive to the idea.

The actor opened up about his professional as well as personal life in an interview. Ranbir lauds his contemporaries for taking up risky roles—be it Alia Bhatt in Udta Punjab and Fawad in Kapoor & Sons.

Asked if he would play a homosexual on camera, Ranbir said: “Sure, but now it’s already been done. Now, he’s (Fawad) opened the door and it’s easy for us to walk through it. But earlier… I must honestly say I might have turned it down.”
