Priyakanta and Suraj: Meet Manipur’s first onscreen gay couple

It was not that long ago that you could barely find a non-stereotypical gay character on a movie or TV show, let alone a male couple. But things have changed, and now, we see gay couples portrayed with the dignity and respect they deserve. Laishram’s forthcoming Manipur’s first gay-themed movie “Oneness” does the same. Priyakanta Laishram and Suraj Ngashepam, billed as the first gay couple in Manipuri cinema, have viewers hooked.
