Veteran actor Shabana Azmi is glad that the discourse around the LGBTQ community is a lot more open today, with even mainstream cinema portraying them with compassion. Azmi starred in filmmaker Deepa Mehta's acclaimed Fire (1996), about a lonely woman in love with her sister-in-law, played by Nandita Das. The actor recalls how the trio was asked if they were lesbians at the London Film Festival because they had done Fire. "Today, it's fine. I must give credit to the mainstream industry that instead of making them a subject of ridicule, they are watching them with empathy," she says.
