Dodo - from glamour to social awareness, Mumbai, India

Actor, dancer, teacher, Zoroastrian, gay... Faredoon Bhujwala, better known as Dodo, lives in Mumbai, India. He is a dazzling personality with many facets. Dodo likes to have fun, but he also cares about nature and people.

I know him since 1997 when I filmed the then forbidden gay world of Bombay. At that time the paragraph 377 which criminalised homosexuality, was still the law. More about “Indian Queens” and the old times you will find here: https://lekhasarkar.com/indian-queens

The first Pride after homosexuality was decriminalised in India, took place in February 2019. It is captured in my video “Remembering: Queer Azaadi Mumbai Pride 2019”. Faredoon Bhujwala - Dodo appears at this historic Mumbai Pride too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8K8qdQThIWM
