Section 377
Decriminalization of Section 377 was a big relief for Apurva
On September 6, the Supreme court passed the historical judgment of decriminalizing Section 377, noting that the LGBTQ community also has the same rights as others in the country.
Talking about the same, Apurva stated, "The Supreme Court awarded us not just long-overdue recognition, it also issued an apology for the suffering we went through while justice was delayed. It gave us respect".

"All our parents wanted to know if we had a stable partner who will stick by us through thick and thin. Our happiness mattered the most to them. When they saw that we share the same values, they were relieved," he stated.
