Sonam Kapoor extended her support to the LGBT community at the inaugural event of the Kashish Mumbai International Queer Film Festival on 25 May. 

It’s a basic human right. It’s not about lesbian, gay, male, female or transsexual. It’s about being able to be who you want to be and being somebody who is just themselves. I have advocated that from the beginning of my career.
