She went on to add, “Section 377 of the IPC is a section of the Indian Penal Code introduced in 1861 during the British rule of India which makes sexual activities "against the order of nature" illegal. On 6 September 2018, a 5-judge constitutional bench of Supreme Court of India invalidated part of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, hence making homosexuality legal in India.”
The actress shared a link to her YouTube video and concluded on a powerful note by stating: “India, is a land of rich culture! On one-hand, we invite trans-genders to bless our new-borns and say that we should never take a curse from a Eunuch, and on the other hand, we don’t want to take the same elevator as a gay guy, don’t want to see them sitting in the same restaurant as us, don’t want to let them use the same washrooms as us!”

“We have friends, colleagues who are homosexuals and transgenders! Make-up artistes, designers, my closest friends. Some of the top-achievers! I have always seen a spark amongst my homosexual or transgender friends, a spark to live life, an enthusiasm that’s incomparable, a zest that’s unbeatable and a spirit that’s unfathomable, a smile that’s radiant, a hug that cures all my insecurities!” she said.
