Retweeting the link to the concerned user’s Twitter status, Karan posted: “It’s so sad and disgusting when a major breakthrough movement is made into a mockery by some on Twitter!! Shame.”

The tweet came after the US Supreme Court passed a judgment on Friday ruling that same-sex marriage is 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.
