While I support individual choices, I hope Indian celebrities don't blindly follow Western trends. Our culture has different values. But wishing her happiness in her personal life.

Omg Lily grew up so fast! 😍 Remember watching her as a toddler on Modern Family. Her coming out using that iconic scene is just perfect. More representation matters, even if it's from Hollywood!

Not sure why international celebrity personal lives make news here. We have enough issues to focus on in India. But good for her I guess.
