Reacting to his statement against same-sex marriage, Uorfi Javed shared a news snippet and wrote on her Instagram story, "So you wanna force people to marry someone they don't like and be unhappy because you think it's unnatural? In Ancient Hinduism, lesbians, gays, transgenders were not only accepted but also allowed to be married! Go learn about your religion first. Don't force your personal agendas on people."
