Taking a chip out of her last web show, Four More Shots Please — which saw co-actor Lisa Ray play a homosexual — Maanvi Gagroo is now set to essay the part of a lesbian in her next, Abnormal 377. The Zee5 show charts the journey of five petitioners who fought for the dissolution of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which criminalised consensual intercourse that was "against the order of nature". Given the crucial subject that the show touches upon, Gagroo said giving her nod to it was a no-brainer.

"I didn't even read the script before saying yes. I knew this was something I had to be a part of. I remember the joy I felt after the Supreme Court's verdict that decriminalised Section 377 last year. It wasn't a victory for the LGBTQ community only, but one for the entire country. This venture is about that."
