The beloved teen comedy Mean Girls turned 20 in April, but many fans still recognize October 3 as “Mean Girls Day.”
October 3 was the date Aaron Samuels (Jonathan Bennett) asked Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) what day it was, and fans have been celebrating ever since, with a new musical reboot set to debut this summer.
Actor Rajiv Surendra played Kevin Gnapoor in the film, who stole the show with his iconic rap talent show, to impress his crush, Janis Ian (Lizzy Caplan).

In fact, he believes that Kevin was secretly gay in the movie… and that he actually loved Aaron Samuels, as he revealed to People.

“I think Kevin secretly loved Aaron Samuels, but he wasn’t allowed to say it,” Surendra said of his character.
“And today he would be allowed to reveal his feelings to Aaron Samuels, and then Aaron Samuels was secretly gay too,” he added.
Bennett also came out as gay in 2017, revealing that he did so privately on the set of Mean Girls with co-star Daniel Franzese, who came out publicly in 2014.
Surendra added that he still keeps in touch with Bennett and Franzese, and that they hang out when they are in New York City, where he resides, and they all joke that their characters were actually gay in the film.
‘They are getting closer. Every time we are together that comes up. We just joke about it. We thought, “Oh, we’re all gay,” Surendra says.
She added that she’s also seen Lindsay Lohan, adding that every time she gets together with other Mean Girls stars, “it feels like family.”
‘I think it feels like a family because the movie has never been forgotten. “It’s like, over the years, it’s gotten bigger and bigger and the public response over the years has always been positive and warm,” he says.
“Everywhere, like for the last two decades, people quote the darkest things,” he says of the fan response.

The new ad campaign features a new take on rap with replica jewelry of the ones she wore in the film.
“When we were filming the rap, the prop guy had a box full of all this fake jewelry they bought for me to try on,” he said.
And then at the end of the scene I thought, “Can I keep this?” And because it had doubles in its original packaging, he said, “Yes, take it,” he added.
