Hrithik Roshan: A worlds first. Live n let live.

Anubhav Sinha: And Congratulations Ireland!!!
 
Esha Gupta: Well done Ireland.. First country to legalise gay marriage by the highest vote
 
Vir Das: Well done Ireland!
 
Shirish Kunder: Congratulations Ireland! I don't have any problem with legalizing same-sex marriage in India too, as long as they don't make it compulsory.
 
Vishal Dadlani: Congratulations #Ireland, on voting 'Yes' to Marriage-Equality. May the world follow suit, & realise that #AllLoveIsLove ! #F***Section377
