Babe vs baba
Ridiculous," says Bollywood's champion of gay rights, Celina Jaitley on how self styled 'doctors' like Baba Ramdev are claiming to 'cure' homosexuality. "With all due respects to Baba Ramdev he may have the so called 'cure' but the point is LGBT community does NOT see homosexuality as a disease.
They are not interfering in anyone's life or religion but unfortunately everyone wants to interfere in theirs and tell them how they should eat, sleep and have sex." She adds, " People should not be judged on basis of what they do in their bedroom because if it was only about that.
Some of our taxes would have to be deployed into a special bedroom vigilance force which I am sure these babas would love to lead." Calling Baba Ramdev 'Samaaj Ka Thekedaar' she feels he is a yoga teacher and should remain one.
"Just because he is a yoga maestro, he cannot and does not have the qualification or degrees to diagnose an illness without any medical background because it would fall under fake medical malpractice." Celina, says, "Even if Baba Ramdev screams from every rooftop of India, the reality is homosexuality will not cease to exist.
"When asked if she feels there is any 'cure' for ignorance, she said, "Baba Ramdev is not ignorant, he is doing whatever his remote upbringing and closed mindset is dictating him to do." Even as many in the country celebrated the recent end of a 145 year old law declaring homosexuality a crime, yoga maestro Baba Ramdev has challenged the High Court's decision and calls homosexuality a 'disease' which he can cure through yoga.
On actresses like Celina Jaitley standing up for gay rights, he says, "These actresses know nothing about Bhartiya sanskriti. They stay away from their parents and have no morals.
" Saying "homosexuality is like a virus and if it affects you, you have nowhere to go," he adds, "They (gays) are like animals who do not realise what brings happiness. They are selfish and only care about themselves and not their families.
