‘I hate the word representation’: Jaydeep Sarkar

Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit in the 90s defined queer. As someone recently told me, the best definition of being queer is ‘when you can be your absolute authentic self without having to fit the prescribed morals of society’. I’m always asked the question: ‘Is your next story a queer story?’ I feel it’s an unfair and unimaginative question. It can be a cishet love story and still be a queer film because I look at life, desire and relationships outside of society’s binaries. Predictably, one review of the show stated it’s ‘not deep enough… surely their lives can’t be that easy!” I was amused at how the critic couldn’t fathom a queer life that wasn’t sad.
