She was also asked if she loves her “Pakistani followers” and she was more than happy to answer, “Love Pakistan and I’m dying to come out there and hang.”
Someone also called Sonam a “strong LGBTQ icon” and said, “You are such a string powerful LGBTQ icon. Where do you find the strength and courage?” Sonam graciously replied, “Telling the truth and standing by it doesn’t require strength, just conviction.”
