Puneet Issar loved Ranbir Kapoor's 'Animal', says south films like 'Pushpa' are working because they are 'alpha-male', slams Bollywood for making too many lesbian, gay movies
Puneet Issar slammed Bollywood for just making too many movies about lesbians and gay. He added. When he was told about the kind of cricitism people had for 'Animal', Puneet reacted, "What difference does it make what they say? Should we really be watching the kind of films they make? There was an Ayushmann Khurrana film, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, which released at 12 and was pulled out by 12:30. Is that the kind of film we should be making? No, we shouldn’t. Even in Satyam Shivam Sundaram, there was a certain dignity maintained. Aap sirf lesbianism par film banana chahte hain? Yaa gays pe film banana chahte hain? (Do you only want to make films about lesbianism or gays?) Fine, that is one section of society—I do not deny their existence. I respect everyone."

The 'Prem Kahani' actress firmly dismissed rumours that she ever had a romantic relationship with Rajesh Khanna, though she admitted she had feelings for him. “I wish I was involved with him, but I wasn’t. I missed the boat, I’d say. I’ve denied this a 1000 times, but if people keep insisting that there was something between us, all I can do is say, ‘I wish…’”
