Actor Akshay Oberoi, known for his versatility and commitment to challenging characters, recently opened up about the importance of representation and inclusion in the Indian entertainment industry. Reflecting on his performance as a queer character in Inside Edge Season 3, Akshay candidly shared his thoughts on playing non-heteronormative roles and the lack of open acknowledgment from Bollywood towards the LGBTQ+ community.

Reflecting on the often-overlooked support of the queer community in Bollywood, Akshay Oberoi acknowledged their unwavering fandom and importance.
In a heartfelt statement, he said, "Bollywood doesn’t acknowledge it, but a lot of the love and fandom we get is actually from the queer community and we should acknowledge that. They have been a massive part of our support system as artists. As someone who truly values love and identity in all forms, I’ve never been bothered about the sexuality of my characters. For me, it's about telling human stories, and every human deserves to be seen."

In Inside Edge Season 3, Oberoi delivered a nuanced performance as a closeted queer cricketer—one that was widely appreciated for its emotional depth and sensitivity.
