Alok gracing the cover of the magazine and standing in front of the word ‘Brides’ is particularly significant in recent times because the Supreme Court is currently hearing petitions to legalize same-sex marriages.We went through the comments section of Brides Today’s Instagram posts where they uploaded pictures from Alok’s shoot and it’s far from supportive. It’s filled with transphobic slurs and abuses with people bashing the magazine for perpetuation “western ideas” and ruining the concept of “brides” as we know it.
