Apurva Asrani is one of the most famous editors and screenwriters in India. His works range from Shahid, Satya, and the web series Made in Heaven. He also wrote the human rights drama Aligarh which was applauded by many. After denying his relationship with Siddhant for years, Apurva finally accepted it and the couple even bought a house together.
In numerous early interviews, Apurva covertly hinted at the society’s unwillingness to accept homosexual relationships openly. And how it was a personal thought and the society has to accept their decisions.
All this while Apurva was hiding the kind of relationship he shared with Siddhant, he used to say they were cousins and now he has finally garnered the courage to talk about it saying, 'It's time LGBTQ families are normalised too.'
Apurva took to Twitter and shared a lovely photo with his partner Siddhant and wrote, "For 13 years we pretended to be cousins so we could rent a home together. We were told 'keep curtains drawn so neighbours don't know 'what' you are'. We recently bought our own home. Now we voluntarily tell neighbours we are partners. It's time LGBTQ families are normalised too."

It was during an interview with Man’s World that Apurva said, "I would hate to see an individual being held back because of his label. So, we are trying to say that whether a man is gay or straight is nobody’s business. It is his prerogative to “out” himself or “in” himself. You and I can live my life a certain way, but we cannot demand other people to live life our way too. And we need to respect their choices.”
