Roshan SethiGUEST
Um, but I, I mean, Karan, your, uh, your experience of, I think, encountering my profile was different, which I'll let you tell.
Karan SoniGUEST
I'd come out when I was 19, so in college, but then when I started in Hollywood, I kind of re-closeted myself.
Karan SoniGUEST
And I was like, "I can't have too many, like, marks against, like, not working." So I basically re-closeted myself publicly in many ways.

Karan SoniGUEST

Karan SoniGUEST
