Simran co-writer Apurva Asrani thanks Kangana Ranaut for backing same-sex marriage

“Marriage is a bond of love. When people’s hearts are one… what their preference is, what can we say about that?” Ranaut told reporters in Haridwar on Sunday.

Apurva Asrani, co-writer of Kangana Ranaut’s 2017 film Simran, thanked the actor for backing “marriage equality” at a time when most stars are shy of speaking up.

A person ‘cancelled’ by the ‘liberal’ media has no right to an opinion right? Even if her statement is humane, brave & timely all at once? Kangana Ranaut speaks for #marriageequality. Something that most movie stars have been shy of doing. From one Queen to another, Thankyou 🏳️‍🌈 https://t.co/dxE8TjmaYm
