Arjun Kamath
“I’ve always taken any kind of societal injustice personally. And my love for storytelling helps me in my revolts, where I try to etch the message into people’s hearts and minds by weaving a story around the matter. The series I did on the LGBTQIA+ community, Coming Out, hails from a similar place, too. Being around umpteen beautiful souls who were constantly hiding who they really were because of the fear of rejection was the driving force for me. The life of the LGBTQIA+ community is still a nightmare in many parts of the country. I’ve heard cases of homosexuals being dismissed as delusional or immature, and, on sadder days, even hurt or forsaken by their own people. I wanted to give a voice to their misfortunes, to put into perspective how the persecution affects their lives on so many different levels. I could only do it with a tragic ending, because if the oppression of those innocent lives was not a reality, we wouldn’t have to talk about it at all.”
