Actor,
model
and
equal
rights
activist
Sushant
Divgikar
while
talking
to
Firstpost
said,
"Over
the
years,
the
mindset
has
changed
and
it's
time
indeed
that
Section
377
was
scrapped.
It's
not
even
an
Indian
construct!
It
is
a
Victorian
relic
and
reflects
a
colonial
mindset.
Section
377
should
have
left
when
the
British
left
our
country,
it
should
have
ended
with
the
end
of
their
oppressive
and
inhumane
rule."
Actress
Swara
Bhasker
who
has
always
been
vocal
about
her
opinions,
Tweeted
saying,
"Congratulations
to
all
the
activists
and
petitioners
on
#SupremeCourt
judgement
scrapping
#Section377.
Your
perseverance
just
made
#India
a
freer
place
for
everyone!
#LoveIsLove
#Pride
#377Verdict
#377Scrapped.
Three
cheers
for
the
#SupremeCourt."
