says it is time to explore it.

Sonam Kapoor spoke about the possibility in an interview where she lamented India's laws on homosexuality. Last year, the Supreme Court upheld a ban on gay sex.

"Well you know, unfortunately, in our country right now there is a law which basically says that homosexuality is not legal which is very sad," she said.

Kapoor is in Cannes as an ambassador for the beauty brand L'Oreal. In an interview yesterday, Kapoor talked about last year's Palme d'Or winner, Blue Is the Warmest Color, a lesbian love story, and whether such a film could be made for Bollywood.

Kapoor believes if gays are depicted on film, it could help bring change in the country.

"I think movies can influence the way people think sometimes and if we do start making love stories or we start making movies about people who are amazing human beings, people who have done something in life, people who are inspirational and who aren't necessarily only straight, I think people will start appreciating them more," she said.
