Aligarh writer Apurva Asrani: I got to know that UK has the 'gayest' parliament in the world

Apurva Asrani, who wrote and edited 'Aligarh', recently visited the British Parliament on the invitation of MP Stuart Andrew. Andrew had seen the trailer and a few clips of the Manoj Bajpayee-starrer, and wanted to congratulate Asrani on writing such a "thought-provoking film."
Asrani tells us, "A few days ago, I had the honour of a personal guided tour of the Houses Of Parliament by Conservative British MP Stuart Andrew - and he's quite good looking, I must add! Even as preparations were underway for the Queen’s speech, Stuart was gracious enough to walk us through both Houses.He was joined by Eric Ollerenshaw OBE, who is a former MP, and he shared wonderful anecdotes about the history of their parliament."
The writer-editor adds that they discussed the film and LGBTQ rights. "We discussed Aligarh, Section 377 and the struggle of the British LGBTQ community over the years - Stuart and Eric are both gay and were key players in getting the historic gay marriage act passed. I was so inspired to hear him say that there were several gay MPs in their parliament and that UK had the 'gayest' Parliament in the world! I also filmed a short interview with Stuart, who had a beautiful message for the Indian LGBTQ community and for the powers that be. I will soon put it up online," adds Asrani.
