SUMMARY:Presentation: Ajay Gehlawat discusses Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui
DESCRIPTION:<p>A discussion on Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui (Chandigarh does romance, 2021),&nbsp;a recent Bollywood film starring Ayushmann Khurrana, who&nbsp;begins a sexual relationship with a woman&nbsp;unaware that she is transgender. The film has generated controversy for its casting of a cis-gender actress (Vaani Kapoor) to play the role of the trans character. This discussion explores how such a casting choice paradoxically allows for a critique of transphobia to emerge,&nbsp;allowing audiences&nbsp;to question their prior assumptions regarding gender and gender identity. These are themes that are seldom explored in mainstream Bollywood, making this film&rsquo;s engagement with the topic all the more salient today.</p>
