Rajkummar Rao's sis-in-law Parnalekha shares words of appreciation for ‘Badhaai Do’, says her community finally has a film

Actor Rajkummar Rao has been garnering a lot of love and appreciation for his work in the movie ‘

Badhaai Do

’. Social media is packed with posts that laud both the movie and the actor. One such post that caught our attention has been penned by Rajkummar Rao’s sister-in-law

Parnalekha

.

Taking to her Instagram account, Parnalekha wrote a heart-touching note praising how the movie has shed light on a serious issue with all sensitivity. Also, shared special appreciative words for the actors for choosing and portraying their respective characters with so much finesse.
She wrote - “Badhaai Do is an intimate revolution that will activate a desire of transformation in the way ‘LGBTQIA+’ oriented films are made in India. Finally, my community has a film; wherein, two girls are not sexually objectified for being two dykes in love, and two men aren’t being called ‘meetha’ and ‘chukka’ for being homosexual studs. At the end of the day, it’s all about the sensitivity in ‘the gaze’ and not only about ‘the gays’ in LGBTQIA+ films.”
“Really appreciated the ‘absence’ of the ‘male gaze’ in this sensitive queer outing. The emotional, physical and psychological consequences of ‘lavender marriages’ are intense, honourable, honest and dramatic. Add a bit of humour to this conflict and you get a light-hearted dramedy called Badhaai do. Watch it!” she added.
This is not it, as aforementioned, she had some words for the actors - Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar. “@bhumipednekar Thank you, for

Sumi

! She is me. Shuddered! Some of them leading ladies have in the past when asked to play a lesbian. Not you! You’ve led the way! Somewhere, in some corner of rural India, you have inspired a 'tomboy' to live her/his/theys life with integrity, honesty and bravery. Thank you, for being you. Rajkummar Rao: Charlie Munger, often speaks of making friends with the eminent dead. Basically, one of the richest men in the world is urging folks to read books written by the greatest thinkers, philosophers etc of all time. It warms my heart to know that your name will appear in the acting books, and that a 100 years later, some random loner or aspiring actor will have found a friend in you. To Shardul and to your brave choices as an actor,” Parnalekha wrote.


‘Badhaai Do’ is a story of a gay man and a lesbian woman who in order to avoid the pressure of their families and society decide to get married to one another.
