Actor Manoj Bajpayee's victory as the Best Actor (Male) at Filmfare Awards for 'Aligarh' is a huge achievement for the LGBTQ community, says the movie's co-writer Apurva Asrani, who had "lost faith in awards".

"I had lost faith in awards. But Manoj Bajpayee winning a mainstream award for playing a gay protagonist is huge for India's LGBTQ! Aligarh," Asrani tweeted on Sunday.

To that, Manoj, who shared the award with Shahid Kapoor ('Udta Punjab'), tweeted: "It's all due to your writing and Hansal Mehta."

In 'Aligarh', Manoj played a gay professor.
