The Segment 377 Verbal confrontation Proceeds As Aamir Khan Confronts Lawful Notice For Satyamev Jayate LGBTQ Scene


Bollywood celebrity Aamir Khan is facing a legal notice issued by Chandigarh High Court due to a lawyer's claim that he 'promoted homosexuality' on the sets of Satyamev Jayate. Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code is a law that criminalises any 'unnatural' sexual act. 'Natural' being, that which ultimately results in progeny. A law that was put in place in the year 1860, 377 has been touted as rather controversial and limiting. In Episode 3 of the latest season of the show, Aamir Khan hosted people who have explored 'alternative sexualities' and therefore are haunted by the grey area this law puts them in. We take a quick look at their testimonials to help those offended understand why talking about the matter is necessary.
