Rumour mills are working over time, the buzz being that Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam are apparently dating each other. Though Saawariya could not create those ripples that it was expected to, still it seems that their combination is here to stay; since both have been pretty successful in making their individual marks. Their personal camaraderie may work out well for the both of them.

According to sources, their romance began during the making of the movie - both were single and ready to mingle.
 

Muzamil Ibrahim:
"Irrfan is a vert talented actor. He knows his job. The fun part of acting is you can become anyone you want. I don't mind playing a gay character at all. "

Manoj Bajpai:
"I'd love to play a gay character if it's written well and it's part of a very good script. "

Ravi Kissan:
"It's a big challenge for a straight guy to play gay. I'd love to play a gay character. I used to play Sita in the stage shows of Ramleela back home in Jaunpur.

Vinay Pathak:
"Excitement of portraying any character lies in the strength of the character's graph and progression vis a vis the plot and its conflicts. How a character helps a narrative grow is what interests me the most. The cast's sexual orientation and other factors are all secondary. "

Sammir Dattani:
" I must admit playing one makes me slightly uncomfortable at this stage of my career when I'm still finding my bearings. For my new film Dhoom Dhadaka I had to get into drag and I was very uneasy.

It took Tom Hanks and Irrfan years before they came to Philadelphia and Migration. I need to be experienced as an actor before I attempt a character so distanced from me. "

Akshaye Khanna:
"It would depend entirely on the script. "

Rohit Roy:
Playing gay? I don't mind at all. But it depends on the film and its director's intentions and most importantly how his sexual preference effects the film and his character.If homosexuality is intrinsic to the narrative and the director possesses the sensibilities of Mira Nair or Aparna Sen I'd surely play gay.But I'd never play gay to titillate, invoke senseless mirth or to ridicule the gay community. My character's sexuality would have to drive the choices he makes in life which in turn takes the picture forward.

Tusshar:
"I'd play gay only if the director has the class and sensitivity to handle such a portrayal without making it caricatural or offensive.

Neil Mathur:
"Well, It's a character and we are actors. So if the script demands it, why not?

Nakul Vaid:
"I've no issues playing gay. Doing any character dpends on how deep you can explore it and portray it convincingly for yourself and the audience. The character's sexual preference is secondary…unless it's forced into the script, Then I'll have nothing to do with it.

Aseem Merchant:
"I've always been intrigued by the gay community. I'd love to portray a gay character. "

Prashant Raj:
"I don't think I'd do justice to a role like that. My structure and build might not be conducive to playing such a role. "

Anupam Kher:
"Playing gay is nothing new to me. I did it years ago in Rahul Rawail's Mast Kalandar and David Dhawan's Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge.

Iqbal Khan:
"If the role is interesting I can even play a lamp post."

Arshad Warsi:
"I'd willingly play a gay character. It will be a new challenge to me as an actor. "

Mohit Ahlawat:
"For me it's be difficult to play gay as I won't be able to identify with such a character. Sorry, I can't play a role I'm so far removed from. But I respect an actor like Irrfan or Sanjay Suri who can. "

Aryan Vaid:
"Gay? Sure! For a good film, I would. But I'd hate to play the farcical effeminate gay stereotype. That's just a plain mockery of a sensitive and vital community. But something like Brokeback Mountain? Any day.

Anuj Sawhney:
"If heroes can play grey characters, I guess it proves the walls between 'this' side and 'that' are breaking. It's up to an actor's individual craft and study of the character to portray a character in a way that leaves a lasting impression.
