Karan Johar, who has been actively speaking on the matter, recorded a heartfelt message for a radio station that made its way to Twitter. “Today’s judgment is historic. It’s emotional, it’s motivating and it’s exceptionally progressive. I feel today is the beginning of a new beginning, a new India where love is love, no matter what. It gives you the feeling of humanity, expression of all strong and progressive things. I am so excited and so proud to be a citizen of a great country today,” he said.
Our very own super star Ali Zafar responded to K-Jo’s message with a tweet, hoping that ‘Naya Pakistan’ and ‘New India’ will work towards improving their ties given the recent progressive steps taken by both countries.
