Hollywood actress and human rights activist Mia Farrow also joined the stars in slamming the judgment, saying it was a “very dark day” for freedom and human rights in India.
“I am more disappointed with this judgement. It feels very intolerant and violative of basic human rights. It’s a shame,” superstar Aamir Khan said in a statement.
“True love between same gender individuals cannot be confined to courtrooms. I hope that the law will change in future,” tweeted Bassam Mallick, international super-model and a human rights activist.
Actor John Abraham tweeted: “India has harboured archaic prejudices once again… The Supreme Court has criminalized homosexuality… Shame.”
Filmmaker Onir, who has been vocal about gay rights, said it was a sad day for Indian democracy.
“I am angry by the SC ruling on IPC 377. Very very disappointed that the bench of the Supreme Court hold us to regressive colonial 153-year-old IPC 377. A dark day for the history of judiciary and human rights in India,” Onir said.
The ‘My brother Nikhil’ director added: “A sad day for democracy where the SC bench denies the LGBT community its constitutional rights to equality and protection against discrimination.”
Actor-director Farhan Akhtar tweeted: “The Supreme Court got it wrong today. Sec377.”
Farrow criticised the judgement in a series of tweets.
“Very dark day for freedom and human rights as Indian Supreme Court rules to criminalize homosexuality. Canceled trip to India,” tweeted the star of ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ and in a sarcastic note added, “My wife and I would not feel welcome there.”
“Well- when I have a wife- we won’t be going to India. Cancelled trip to India. My wife and I would not feel welcome there,” she added.
“Such a decision was totally unexpected from the top court. It is a black day for the community,” Arvind Narayan, a lawyer of the Alternative Law Forum gay rights group, told reporters outside court.
“Love comes from heart, not from the book of laws! I call it Supreme Court’s misjudgment. I am angry, disappointed and hurt!,” tweeted Sourendra Kumar Das, Mumbai-based fashion editor and equal rights activist.
Director Karan Johar tweeted: “Sec377 is not just a violation of human rights but also makes democracy seem like a mirage in our country.
“For all those who think that this judgement gives them a right to talk about their self appointed machoism… GET A LIFE!!!,” Johar added.
Celina Jaitly, another celebrity who has been vocal about her support to LGBT community, said the verdict was a betrayal of trust.
“377 is in contradiction of three major fundamental rights: Article 14, 15, 21. One day you are legal the next day illegal? Naz India joins a shameful list of cases where SC has removed rights given by a lower court… This decision will ruin many lives,” Jaitley said.
‘Rang De Basanti’ star Siddharth tweeted: “We are calling our citizens criminals for doing something that is their fundamental birth right to do & is natural. Mera Bharat kahaan? Sad.”
Riteish Deshmukh called it “Supreme Mis-judgement Section377.”
Actor Rahul Bose: “So much for those believing the judiciary is ‘the last bastion of common sense’ in this country. Section377.”
Actor Anupam Kher wrote: “We obviously don’t believe in equal rights even in the times when we send Mangalyaan to Mars.:)”
Actor Kabir Bedi said the judgement failed to uphold democratic human rights.
“It’s a sad day when the Supreme Court of India does not uphold the democratic rights of sexual minorities. The State should stay out of the bedrooms of consenting adults. SC upholding regressive law seems bigoted.”
Dia Mirza: “I am ashamed. 377 there is nothing more frightening than the revelation that the guardians of democracy have turned undemocratic.”
Anushka Sharma wrote: “So disappointed with the SC verdict. Freedom is such a deceptive term. Rights are an ambiguous mystery scrap377.”

Director Nikhil Advani tweeted: “Welcome to the medieval ages!!! It was only a matter of time.”
Madhur Bhandarkar wrote: “Just when we thought we are looking into the future, comes a judgement that treats us like we are in the stone age. The disappointment is justified.”

City and the people of Mumbai get a local train Map.
IDC, IIT Bombay, December 16, 2013. Students from IDC, IIT Bombay designed a Mumbai Suburban Rail map in their assignment for a course in Visual design and the utility of the map has made it viral on Facebook when it was launched online.
Jaikishan Patel and Snehal Patil, the first year students doing their masters in visual communication, designed the map under the guidance of the their Professor Mandar Rane. I have lived in Mumbai and I know most of things about Mumbai. I felt designing a map would be exciting and of value for people in Mumbai. I researched about it and then understood that though there are a few maps on the internet but none of them is well designed, says Snehal. I like to travel, I have traveled along all the routes for no reason. I am fond of maps. I have Eicher map for all the cities and recently I brought a map for Mumbai, when we decided to work on this project says jaiki (jaikishan).The duo have managed to design a A4 size printable map which covers all the rail routes including the proposed MRTS Metro.Fitting all the content is an A5 size was a challenge, they said.The Map has gone through 25 iterations until it reached its current version. Most of the corrections were crowd-sourced and it was a participatory design process. If the map does not gets installed on stations for any reasons, they are ready with a DIY version of the Map and will create a App so people can always carry the map with them, says their Professor Mandar Rane. The team dreams to see the map installed at all the railway stations as a (YAH) You Are Here Maps. Hope railway authorities are keen on taking it ahead. Recently they launched the Hindi version of the map and planning for a Gujarati version soon.

Sunny’s Jackpot is not just her jism!
Talk of Jism2 and Sunny Leone’s voluptuous body comes in front of your eyes. Now, the actress has shed her inhibitions in terms of histrionics and stepped out for her second most awaited Bollywood flick Jackpot.
Says director Kaizad Gustad, “Sunny’s character in Jackpot is very different… it has nothing at all to do with Jism. In Jackpot, Sunny plays a very strong independent woman whose one eye is constantly on the money. She has her own agenda through the movie and we don’t quite know what that is.” Unlike Jism 2, in Jackpot, Kaizad says Sunny emerges on her own with her acting skills. “She is nobody s moll or girlfriend. “
Kaizad feels that the best thing about Sunny is her willingness to work and learn. “Sunny was absolutely fantastic. The best quality about her is the willingness to work hard and learn and that shows on screen. Sunny may not have a lot of experience, but she works hard and is always trying to make it work for everybody.”
So what about Sunny diehards? “All I can say is that with Sunny, there is bound to be glamour. Sunny fans will not be disappointed.”
