6. Fawad Khan as Rahul Kapoor- Kapoor & Sons
Shakun Batra’s ‘Kapoor & Sons’ portrayed the aftermath of coming out as a homosexual to his/her family in the most sensitive & natural way possible. Many mainstream actors have reportedly rejected the role of Rahul Kapoor due to the gay protagonist before Fawad Khan took the challenge.
“Main thak gaya hoon aapka perfect beta banke”– After constantly living under the pressure of the ‘perfect’ elder child of a dysfunctional family and the pretence of being a ‘straight’ guy, Fawad Khan did justice to the role of Rahul Kapoor.
