I was the celebrity attraction at the party, I didn't know it was a gay party!" says an outraged Bobby Darling. The, um, actor was arrested along with other revellers at a 'gay party' in Mumbai on Saturday night, and released later. The cops alleged that the organizers didn't have the required permissions.
Says Bobby, "Agar normal party hoti and if I were caught with a straight man, I would not deny it because I'm a girl. But I was called to this party on the pretext of being 'the celebrity attraction'. I had no clue it was a gay party. I do not go to gay parties. I do support gays, but I have a soft corner for transgenders. I am not gay. I am a girl and have always considered myself to be one. In fact, all my relationships have been with men. My last relationship was with cricketer Munaf Patel. The organiser of this party is a friend of mine. He is married and has a wife and two kids. I will not mention his name because he has not come out with his sexuality yet," says Bobby.
She believes that the people who blew the lid on the party and called the police are probably those who did not get entry, or maybe the neighbours had a problem with the music. "I think it must be the neighbours or the people who were denied entry who complained. I was at the party, there were music and drinks, and I got a phone call. When I went out into the lawn to take the call, I saw the police entering. They came in and asked me, 'Aap yahaan kya kar rahe ho?' They told me I'd have to cooperate and like a good citizen, I did. I went to the Oshiwara police station and signed some papers, answered some questions and then left," she says. no indecent behaviour
According to DK Rupwate, senior inspector at Oshiwara police station, Mumbai, where the revellers were taken after the raid, male guests were found behaving indecently at the party and there was no prior permission to host it or serve liquor. Bobby denies any such reports. "There was no indecent behaviour. There were people from the LGBT community and drag queens, but it was like a regular party. There were drinks and dancing, like at any party. I didn't know there was no permission for the party or the alcohol," she says.
She adds, "I charge money for parties, yes. It is part of my profession. I usually go for parties where my name is used to attract people. But I would never go for a gay party. I am a girl, after all, and have always considered myself to be one. I was paid for this party too and I believe there were invites that were sent out. People must have come because my name was on the guestlist, but I was completely unaware that this is what I was getting into."
