A little reading up on stuff would have been nice.
On May 23, Aamir Khan spoke about theatre, cinema and Shakespeare with Sir Ian McKellen, at the NCPA theatre in Mumbai.
However, while speaking with McKellen, Khan took a whole bunch of missteps. For one, he really had no idea about LGBT law in India.
While discussing people who have come out, he didn't know if any Bollywood actors have come out of the closet, and Imran Khan (who was seated in the audience) reminded him that there are certain laws against homosexuality in India.
He also asked McKellen about what it felt like to be one of the first and probably only actors to have come out publicly. To which McKellen responded, saying, "I'm not, there are literally hundreds of us".
He had no clue about McKellen's past work, apart from X-Men and LOTR, and wasn't sure which Shakespearean film he had acted in.
McKellen followed up by saying, "I'm in awe of your TV show (Satyamev Jayate)".
