SUNANDA LOVES BRITNEY
Catch Best Newcomer nominee, Sunanda, in this Bollywood Queer Extravaganza, featuring dancers and a DJ.
Sunanda loves Britney. Sunanda’s always loved Britney. One might even say that Sunanda is obsessed with Britney, not quite in a leave-Britney-alone-2007-Youtube-Chris-Crocker way (although that was pretty gay) but more in a be-my-life-partner-or-I-will-die-and-seriously-Sunanda-is-so-gay-and-Britney-is-lighting-the-pathway-to-self-realization way. Who else could a queer Indian kid living in Thailand turn to in the late 90’s for refuge, but the Princess of Pop?
It took Sunanda about a decade to realize that they didn’t want to BE Britney, they wanted to DO Britney and this is where the show begins. What comes next is a shit-storm of family drama, confusion, blonde-girl-addiction and lesbian-ing.
