Mumbai:
Karan Johar was left fuming after being mocked on the social media about his sexuality following news of the legalisation of same-sex marriages in the USA. The celebrated filmmaker said trivialising such 'breakthrough' moments' was a 'shameful' act.
Here's what the filmmaker tweeted after a user on micro-blogging site Twitter took a jibe at his sexuality.
The tweet came after the USA Supreme Court passed a judgment last Friday ruling that same-sex marriage was a legal right across the country.
Meanwhile, homosexuality remains illegal in India after the Supreme Court in 2013 upheld Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code.
