Xtra Hot: Shazad

By night he’s a Bollywood go-go-dancing star

Name: Shazad

Age: 30

Sign: Libra

By day, he’s a mild-mannered AIDS service worker for the Alliance for South Asian AIDS Prevention (ASAAP), and by night he’s a Bollywood go-go-dancing star. On a date, Shazad likes to grab a coffee, go for a walk and chat. “I’d rather do that than go to a dinner and awkwardly try to slam food in my face while attempting to sound articulate.” Watch for the next Rangeela, billed as Canada’s “biggest queer South Asian dance party,” on Saturday, Feb 8 at Club120, where Shazad will continue to rally behind those fighting the Indian Supreme Court’s decision to re-criminalize homosexuality.
