Let's start with a few basics: Name? Age? Hometown? Occupation? Relationship status?
Asaad Gulati. 35. Prachin Buri, Thailand. Biologist. Single
How did you create your stage name?
I'm Punjabi, and my stage name reflects that.
Could you tell us about your background?
I'm half Thai, half Punjabi. Raised by a single mother. 23&Me data states I'm Pakistani Punjabi (Punjabis are either Indian or Pakistani).
What drew you to the field of biology?
Always loved science and its relation to everyday life, especially with space and wildlife/nature.
How did you turn from science to the world of porn?
I was asked to be a model ambassador for an epic event called One Magical Weekend in Orlando, which kicks off Pride. I was able to connect and network with many people in the industry at the event - and after all that research, I reached out to people through my social network on Instagram to begin the creative journey: Rick Kelson, Antonio (FitnessPapi) & Manuel Skye, to name a few.
When and how did you first start creating content? Why now? How and why did you make such a dramatic change in careers?
The ability to express oneself in science can limiting depending on the career. I wanted a career that allowed me to lean into sexuality, while representing a big population that sometimes isn't featured in mainstream media yet, specifically gay porn. I didn't want to look back on life regretting not trying. I'm opening a door and laying down a path for Southeast Asian, Indian & Middle Eastern gay men.
Do you think your background as a scientist has any effect on you as a performer? How so?
If anything, it's positive. I have a strong understanding of the human body and how it works, from the chemical hormones released during sex in relation to the sympathetic (helping with orgasms) & parasympathetic (helping with erection) systems in our body. Scientifically speaking, sex, when practiced in a healthy way, really adds to one's well-being and happiness. Reduces stress and lowers cortisol levels, which helps you sleep better.
Do you have ambitions to do studio work?
I think a couple of cameos would be cool with the right studio.
What specifically do you still want to do in the porn world? Scenes? Scene partners? Sexual activities?
I haven't done a threesome scene yet. Me being spit-roasted is a common request from fans. Also, a double penetration scene would be beautifully hot with the right people. I would be the bottom in these scenes. Working with pornstars like FittFilou, Randhy Jr, Leandro HairyDomXL, and Caio Veyron would be pretty cool. Why not dream big? No pun intended.
Tell us a little bit about yourself outside of porn. Interests? Hobbies? Beliefs? Passions?
I enjoy spending time with my family in Thailand. I grew up Buddhist, so I enjoy visiting temples with them as it's our way of honoring my late mother. I also enjoy visiting beautiful beaches in any country/city from my own Thailand to Brazil, Barcelona, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Miami.
Who is the real Asaad Gulati?
Powerfully kind and naughty being, with a smile that can light up a room.
How do you define a true "Porn Star"?
A person who is courageously willing to let go of the idea of shame in order to express themselves in a way that fulfills others' sexual desires.
Is Asaad Gulati going to become one? How?
I have the potential to be one, and the opportunities I have been receiving are leading me in that direction. My family, friends, therapist, and fitness coach (Nunzi) are so supportive. I trust these people and love them. I will get there by trusting my instincts, doing what feels right business-wise wise and having a clear exit strategy.
What is your favorite thing about sex?
My favorite thing about sex is the foreplay. The kissing, touching, eating, and sucking. All very important parts before penetration happens - the essential warm-up. The best sexual partners incorporate that.
