With the Supreme Court decriminalising Section 377, Bollywood celebrities took to social media to share their thoughts

The 157 year old Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code was decriminalised earlier today by the Supreme Court. The landmark judgement has been hailed as a victory for the LGBT community and Bollywood celebrities took to their twitter handles to express their joy.

Here is a compendium:
