'The Big Bang Theory' star Kunal Nayyar praises India on its anti-LGBT law repeal
'The Big Bang Theory' star Kunal Nayyar praised India for striking down an anti-LGBT law recently and said he couldn't be happier over the decision.
While talking to Ellen DeGeneres on her show, the actor, who was born in England but raised in India's capital New Delhi, said that what made him happier about the nation’s historic decision to decriminalize homosexuality was that it coincided with his trip to India.
“I grew up in New Delhi and I went to an all-boys school. I remember knowing some people that were in the closet because they did not have an avenue to come out and I kept thinking how stupid it is that the government decides to choose who you can love," he explained. "It never made sense to me actually, because no one can tell you who to love, right?” he added.
