Indian film star Nishigandha Wad has claimed she is “not homophobic” after promoting conversion therapy and saying same-sex parents put their children’s “human rights” at risk.
Wad is a popular Marathi film actor who has starred in more than 160 films and TV series, and written nine books.
She said: “I have a different point of view on same-sex marriage. Today’s generation feels, one is not normal if one does not feel likewise – everyone has got a choice. But there’s also a choice of treatment.”
