Mr. Samir Soni, Bollywood & Television Actor – “I strongly believe in the cause that Feronia Fashion Night stands for and thank the organizers for inviting me to the event. There was some great work on display by the designers. Sexual Orientation is just a part of the personality, not the entire personality and I salute the team of Feronia Fashion Night for their efforts to promote such an important issue and stand up for LGBTQ rights. I wish them all the best for future events.”
Mr. Raj Bhandare, Founder – I Love Goa & Nirvana (top T shirt brand of India) – “I am honoured to be a part of such a noble endeavour. Hats off to the organizers for pulling off such a great show! There is a need for promoting a non-judgemental approach of life in the current times and if we look at the rich heritage of Upanishads and other ancient texts, we have never discriminated on the basis of gender and sexual orientation. India has given respect to the third gender with ArdhaNareshwar being one of the forms of Lord Shiva. I hope there are more Feronia Fashion Nights in future.”
Gauri Sawant – Founder Aaji ka Ghar- a NGO working for Transgender rights and a leading Transgender rights activist of India – “Such events are extremely important for parity of the LGBTQ community and I hope the audience at the event are kind to the LGBTQ community and treat them like equals. We have to understand that humanity is above all and I thank Feronia Fashion Night for sending this message out loud and clear.”
Paresh Gupta, Youth ambassador of Rajasthan Government – “I thank the organizers for inviting me to such a relevant event in the current times. Such events are important for the pride of the marginalized LGBTQ community. As a nation, we need to give more thought on the issues of inclusivity in order to prevent issues of depression and suicide rates amongst our youth and Feronia Fashion Night is a right step in that direction. Youngsters from the LGBTQ community have hope of inclusivity due to such endeavours and vision.”
