First "Bullywood" needs to understand the difference between a gay man and a transgender person .
exactly
Yeah sweet creature
Don't mind me I'm just happy Indian directioner or harrie😁
@@kimseokjin-ic3jv armyyyyy?!?!!
@@thingsweneed9667 haha sameeee!! ♥️♥️♥️
@@HarryStyles_01 lmao hello my fellow harrie!! ✨
People Bollywood usually ignores😊:
1.Northeast Indians
2.LGBTQIA+
3.Civilized UPiites/Biharis
4.Fair skinned South Indians
5.Calm & intelligent sikhs
6.Professional soldiers/officers(Who aren't warmongerers or hypernationalistic)
And possibly many more... 🙄😏
This is one of the most accurate comment I've seen..
Well said... Well said! 😌😌😌
I don't agree with 3 &6 point.
What you obsession with fair skin??
Urban Naxals also 🤣🤣
The fact that Akshay Kumar really thought a transgender woman would go out and buy feminine clothes and try them on in public without fear of hate crime in India. Matlab self acceptance has never been that easy.
In a movie it's really not a transgender but they are trying to represent spirit of a transgender who has entered in the body of Akshay Kumar......and also people are scared because he suddenly starts behaving differently.
Huh.. she's a ghost in Akshay Kumar's body and hence the fear.. cause their cishet son all of a sudden was being weird and not like himself because of a deprived ghost..
I would call it real Ramrajya🙏
The movie is about a ghost of transgender woman which possessed a man .. so he's a little bit aggressive
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so damn trueeee
1) Bisexuality who??
2) Gay men= act like cis females
3) femme lesbians? who?
4) trans people= best portrayed by cis actors
5) Pan? pots and pan? is there a sexuality like that lol tf?
6) actual people coming out in the industry for representation? no, we'd rather have homosexuality made fun of
7) what even is asexuality
things will change when REAL people start coming out instead of doing a sympathy trope in films and shows.
this. this is exactly what i wanted to hear
exactly.........and I am really happy with few (to be honest very few) movies and series........ like Subhmangal zyada savdhan, Romil and Jugal, Maaya 2 for trying to represent lgbtq community properly and comming forward........other movies and series they need to learn from these........
PREACH
Trans people means only transwoman/kinner according to Bollywood 😑
Ikr Bollywood needs to understand the difference
Gender identity is independent of gender expression.Very well said👍
Thank you for speaking about such an important topic
Thank you for supporting us ❤️
...I am a man but 100% Bisexual Lesbian at heart, I like both, Biological Lesbian Girls and Biological Straight Girls, so, any Lesbian out there who want to be friends with me?
People need to know this. And CORRECT representation matters.
WORD! 🌈
Bollywood doesn't even correctly represents cultures of each states properly, for South of India they give us CHENNAI EXPRESS 😂😂 and for NE they give us MARY KOM as Priyanka Chopra. 😂😂
Bollywood had the potential to UNITE INDIA by showing cultures form each region, giving knowledgeable inputs in their movies (just like ANIME) but it failed miserably and I have no hope for bollywood.
@@lizq9825 true dat

@Namir Deshmukh Thank you straight male, thanks for letting us live 😍. But aise backward countries se India ko compare krke khud ki aukaat mt dikhao🌝.
I was expecting shubh mangal zyada saavdhan 🌈🌈 it's top tier. One of the very few bollywood movies worth watching 🥺✨
No no in that movie some topics were so good. They are not pointing some movies were gays are treated as a joke or else
That movie was total shit... they did a movie on gays as if they are doing a favour. I hated that movie.
Really?? Sry i didn't liked that movie
@Pranavi Singh they still made it caricatured... with lot of puns which weren't funny. And there was not even one passionate kiss
Me too
Shrishti sprinkling casual sexism on homophobia cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣
...I am a man but 100% Bisexual Lesbian at heart, I like both, Biological Lesbian Girls and Biological Straight Girls, so, any Lesbian out there who want to be friends with me?
@@enasnirercos7626 I know I'm replying to this one year later lmao, but hi
The person wearing black shirt is so cute. Like they are so pretty
Armyyyyyyyy
Army 💜💜
Can anyone tell me that person name?? I wanna know
@@skz9019 even I don't know if I knew the person name so I would tell u
@@rahellashaikh7205 oh OK thank you
Btw it's my first time getting a reply this fast on YT 😂
Aligarh movie has the best representation of LGBTQIA community :)
+1 please can you tell where is it available?
@PewDie Pie telegram
...I am a man but 100% Bisexual Lesbian at heart, I like both, Biological Lesbian Girls and Biological Straight Girls, so, any Lesbian out there who want to be friends with me?
And dostana is made by Karan Johar who himself has come out publically🥺
He was kind of homophobe himself. There are many LGBTQ people in denial, mostly turn to be homophobic. He was one of that kind.
@@Shiva-ym4sl that's what's called internalized homophobia. also, i dont think karan johar ever actually came out. correct me if im wrong.
@@zaaradurrani5861 He gave some hints indirectly in his interviews, but never came out officially as celebrities do in West.
@@Shiva-ym4sl prolly becuz no one here actually did that before..because our society is not that accepting like the west.
Full circle moment
Y'all missed Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan😟😟
even i was expecting them to react on that movie , but later i realised that they are reacting to misrepresentation of LGBTQIA+ community , because there are a lot of good content based on LGBTQIA+ community which is usually overseen because huge superstars wont act in it
@@dhanushr04 Agreed agreed.
...I am a man but 100% Bisexual Lesbian at heart, I like both, Biological Lesbian Girls and Biological Straight Girls, so, any Lesbian out there who want to be friends with me?
Best representation of LGBTQIA+ is done is a television show named Kaisi yeh yaariyaan(At least in Indian media).....though the mother's reaction remained the same and also the so called society....but the way his friends handled the situation and the role was so maturely written...I saw the show when I was in my 5th standard... I was introduced to the subject due to the show and never felt ajeeb after watching that...
Maturely written and finely performed....
Where i can watch it plz help 😭
Also for a trans girl from THE BIG F of Mtv
@@btsarmy-mn5fc It's available on Voot
So true!
...I am a man but 100% Bisexual Lesbian at heart, I like both, Biological Lesbian Girls and Biological Straight Girls, so, any Lesbian out there who want to be friends with me?
Huge respect to you all guys ..... I'm a Bisexual and I'm really thankful for this video man ..... It really means Alot and Shibani di you're favourite 🙆😊 thankyou (◔‿◔)
Bi✨
The positivity is this comment section is top tier. Love how this country is progressing but we stil have a reallllly long way to go
...I am a man but 100% Bisexual Lesbian at heart, I like both, Biological Lesbian Girls and Biological Straight Girls, so, any Lesbian out there who want to be friends with me?
@ADM Hahahahaha
Because may be first time ever they made something sensible most of the time this channel makes dumb contents
The Bollywood was going on its mood, until a movie was released named, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan
These directors don't understand the difference between masculine traits or feminine traits gay and transgender
and dark truth is karan johar himself makes this movies
u missed Ek Ladki ko dheka tho ...with Sonam, and Subh mangal zyada savdan with Ayushman. they actually going on the right direction, i think. And Alighar
even i was expecting them to react on that movie , but later i realised that they are reacting to misrepresentation of LGBTQIA+ community , because there are a lot of good content based on LGBTQIA+ community which is usually overseen because huge superstars wont act in it
@@dhanushr04 hella true !!!!!!!
I feel like maa da ladla bigad gaya is misunderstood🤔 when you see it in context it's not really problematic as it's from the mom's perspective, and she later comes to accept her son. Though the movie itself did have some insensitive scenes🤷🏻♀️
But still the whole scene was full of shit stereotypes and cliches
@@deepanshu564 yes the movie did have quite a bit of problematic stuff. But in my opinion, this movie overall did open a conversation and also had some sweet stuff- for example, the scene where the mom accepts her son 😊
@@gaanadelrey yeah Bollywood is changing little by little
YESS. THIS IS IT. THIS IS THE TYPE OF CONTENT WE NEED.
I love you :'))
YASSS

This is the content we need!!!
We try ❤️

Notice how this is the only time some of these anchors are being used. Idiva is as hypocritical as the other
Maybe she's just providing a representation of the specific community for the subject ???
I'm proud gay n my family accepted with open arms
i am from the LGBTQ+ community and i am proud of it !
Same :D I'm a lesbian and demigirl (I use she/they pronouns) if you are comfortable what do you identify as?? (Ahhh I just want you to know that if you aren't comfortable with telling a stranger on the internet I totally get it) :D
@@nex2681 I identify as Road Roller...... 🤣🤣🤣😂 What a joke
I am gay❤️❤️❤️ proud of myself
Pride 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🌈🏳️🌈
Not advocating Dostana.... But that whole song is her imagination/hallucinations...
CAN WE HAVE SRISHTI IN MORE VIDEOS I LOVE THEM
OMG YESSS PLEASE ❤️
I LOVE THEM 😭
Yesssss !!
YASSS WE'LL TRY 💞💞
@@iDIVAOfficial TYSM 🤩
One thing made me happy about this video is that it's not released in or around the pride month ❤️
I m glad u guy's talk on this ☺ 😍 love love
Love ya
Thankyou soo much for doing this! Can you please make a part 2 of this video where you guys react to movies like girlfriend , murder 2 , dream girl . They did represented the LGBTQIA community in the craziest way possible. Please do that
So many reasons to love this channel...
IDiva keep going
Sending loads of love 🙌🏼❤❤❤
Great video, hope this video will open the eyes of the peoples who still living in that Bollywood mindset)
Thanks idiva for dedicating your entire episode for this awareness. Respect for you 🙏🏻
We need more videos like this! I love all the reaction videos of this channel!
Appreciate your vids... shedding light on the sad reality ! Love this channel ❤❤
Thanks idiva for bringing this up content, I wish koi Bollywood ka director deckhe iss content ko. So that in future they not to portray any LGBTQ guys like in comic or horrific way. Thanks alot idiva u guys r the best.
This video is so underrated OMYGOD WE NEED MORE CONTENT LIKE THIS
Clearly Bollywood doesn't dig deeper into these gender identities and sexualities. Like grow up guys. But I can say that in _Kal Ho Na Ho_ it was just a bromance thing, and they were just playing with Kanta.
It is amazing that finally people have started speaking about this. Hats off to you guys!
...I am a man but 100% Bisexual Lesbian at heart, I like both, Biological Lesbian Girls and Biological Straight Girls, so, any Lesbian out there who want to be friends with me?
Amazing job guys! We can't do/say much about old days but movies that are being made now should definitely not repeat these stupid mistakes.
These people should take a lesson from "Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhaan"
Karan johar is gay himself but he represent gay in his movie as pervert.
The future is inclusive. Yes! :’D
LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE AT THE BACK 🌈
There are also some good movies for lgbtqi+ such as
Subh mangal zyada sawdhan
Ek ladki ko dekha to easa laga
Etc etc.
And Kapoor and sons!! One of my absolute favorites from Bollywood!!!
Seriously india has to change the way of thinking about LGBTQ and also let children know about it..because me and my friends actually know the term LGBTQ at standard 10 only! And one of my friend after knowing about it she came to me as bi. She told me that she felt something wrong in her and when she came to know about LGBTQ she clarified herself.. Seriously the government should allow children to know about LGBTQ!! And thank you for reacting to it 😊
Thank you soo much for making video on this topic..🤗whether it's 2020 or 2050 if one say this things to anyone they'll be like "Tu bhi unmese hi h kya"LGBTQ are not how they thing they need to change their mindset but they don't want to..
True. That's what we need to change. Becoming an ally is not all that hard.
Couldn't agree more!! Whenever I talked to my collegemates and tried to make them understand , they all asked me " Lesbian h kya ? " Or some just started looking at me wierdly... Some think of LGBTQ+ as a joke.. And it hurts that they don't even want to understand.. I hope someday, people will really stop this behavior and if they can't understand atleast They would stop mocking and discouraging those who want to become ally.
Thanks for making this Team. As a Gay person I can relate this. It's very creepy to watching this type of scene in movies.
Do you guys wear girl clothes.
True it also makes my blood boil... But i just want to mention there are movies like "Ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga" and "Shubh mangal zyada saavdhan" where there is good representation as well.. and i hope we get many more movies like the two... If there are more good LGBTQ+ representation recommendation pls add.
Just one thing ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️ finally someone talking about this
You guys are doing an amazing job... Respect!!
💞💞
...I am a man but 100% Bisexual Lesbian at heart, I like both, Biological Lesbian Girls and Biological Straight Girls, so, any Lesbian out there who want to be friends with me?
Maaaannnnn I was waiting for this one💞✨😙✌️🏳️🌈 love you guyyysssss
LOVEEE YOU
Loveed ittt ! Your video was Entertaining yet alarming
Glad you liked it!!
Thnq so much for educating people about this... because people find whatever is shown in bollywood for gay is true..🙏🙏🙏thnq for making our side clear❤️
The comments are all so sweet. I love it
Subscribing now because of this video.. Thank you to idiva.. You guys are awesome❤
But movies which show correct representation are still not gaining as much acclaim as the ones reviewed which just shows how much the heteronormative ideas are ingrained into our minds that people still find such situations funny.
Okay,Now I feel better ❤️
Thank you for this video 🌸
Okay leaving beside everything!! Ehm.. im genuinely in love with the person with black sweatshirt!! Omg! They are so cute!!
Recently, some of the better movies on LGBT themes are produced by the regional film industries. For instance, the fireflies. You all are so right in saying that Bollywood gender representation is problematic and inadequate. It doesn't capture the entire range of things and only perpetuates homophobia.
someone please tell the movie from which the 2nd clip is taken? At 2:14
I love your work guys. Kudos to you . More power to you
❤️❤️
Has idiva views and subscriptions gone down coz kusha ain't in it??? Coz this channel is superb Yaar n it is surprising to see less views!
Yaar TRINETRA ko bulana thha na !! I was hoping she'd be a part of this video 🥺
Yeah🥺❤️🩹
I love how tired they sound. Also, yassss for enby rep!
A tight slap on the face of bollywood 😆
Just with the problematic movie scene u could add some nice representation of lbgtq+ people in the movies like in shubh mangal zada savdhan just to show how it should be portrayed.
What abt other recent movies like ek ladki ko dekha to aisa lga and Ayushman khurana's movie?
Happy to see this topic,go ahead
Just one word love your effort guys .i enjoyed alot..
As a BL fan a d a person who supports LGBTQ + community.
I am happy at least someone spoke it out in anyway.
Thanks @idiva.
...I am a man but 100% Bisexual Lesbian at heart, I like both, Biological Lesbian Girls and Biological Straight Girls, so, any Lesbian out there who want to be friends with me?
was expecting that you will talk about smzs! THE ONLY mainstream Bollywood movie to get the representation correct!
You guys should have also review Sharad Kelkar in Laxmi. He was definitely the only good thing there.
I seriously believe 'Dostana' movie should not be judged with others. It was one of the first movie to bring the concept (or even the word Gay) to mainstream Bollywood, although the protagonists in it weren't gays. I remember what a taboo it was prior to that movie.
You guys are soo amazing 🦋❤
You areee ❤
I have also gone through this kind of things , like how people easily assumes that all " gays " are girly and lesbian are boyish in my school, which is so wrong .
India Gay NICE movies : 1.Evening shadow
2. Ek ladki ko dekha toh essa laga
3. My bright nikhil
4. Shubh mangal jada savdhan
5. Loev
Dostana bhi toh hai
Hollywood is way better than bollywood, In India nobody accepts lgbtq community, here everybody is gonna judge you, not only the socity but also your family won't support, and if there no support of our loved ones, then how to come out, how to tell them tell this whole world what we are....😶😶😶 thank you IDIVA to make this videos...you guys are too good.... God bless you all❤️☺️
idk but the person in the black with glasses are just so attractive like-
Ppl need to understand that being LGBTQ is not shame it's pride
Makemore videos on this topic...❤️🎉 loveislove
The best thing I ever did was not to watch any Bollywood movies. The best decision I ever made.
And yeah I myself know some queer people in my life and they are not like what bollywood show us.
They are just like us, they deserve all the love.
Love is love ❤️
3:30 ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. 💯
This is such a great channel I don't know why people don't like it
We also don't know yaaa :(
Ahhh thanks Alot for the reactions 🥺 ..... Please please do react to these scenes - (Dhishoom movie - Akshay Kumar's part , housefull 4 - Johnny lever's part ).
There are films like Partner, Fashion (two more films I don't know their names) in which gays are portrayed with feminine characteristics.
For them all gays are having feminine characteristics 🤦
Nowwwww....i can say...bestt vediooo everrrrrrrr...😍😘
Glad you liked it!! ❤
Brought content of my type😏😏😏 Thanks😚😚😚
Yayyyy 😚
In the Movie Laxmii It's a different case guys
Akshay is not transgender
The ghost is..
So when Akshay sees the red saree the ghost possesses him
The acting is cringey btw...
All I want to know is the name of the blue Eyeliner she is wearing?!!!
So pretty it is!!!
Please let me know 🥺
I'm about to turn 23 and it's sad to know that I'll probably die before Bollywood has actual LGBTQ representation that is not homophobic or comedic relief or before society accepts LGBTQ people... Being Desi gay is worse only after Middle East and African gay... It's sad that we have to live in a society that will never understand us and will instead reject, curse or bully us...
Well they didn't show the films where the community was shown well ....
Thank you for your words!!!!
to be honest 'maa ka ladla' was all about mother's pov.
I understand what they tried to showcase in the song ma ka ladla..in that shadi seen where one of them is wearing ghagra...but on a broader prospective clothes are genderless...maybe some man genuinely wants to wear something like a ghagra in their wedding..
Bahut accha effort dostoñ ❤️
❤️❤️
Thanks for making this video. I heard Karan johar making dostana2. 😨😨
Kiran Kher's character is supposed to be homophobic in the film so that's why she imagines those things in the song.
Aparajita,a very old viewer of ur channel..
Commented,coz a proud woman, a trans woman of course...
I mean how come you are reacting to only one scene. Did you see the full movie (Laxmi)? they have actually showed like how they are treated in the society.
This is the best episode of idiva....... 😎
❤️❤️
If someone has watched the show maryaada it was way ahead of itself there the boy had to get married to keep the image of the family his coming out by his wife they had handled it very well
