After Celina Jaitley, it is fashionista Sonam Kapoor's turn to show her support for the LGBT community.

Welcoming New York's latest gay-marriage law, the actress joined in the celebration with New York based designer Prabal Gurung on twitter.

'Finally. Love conquers all. Gay Marriage Approved by New York Senate. Yay!!!' she tweeted.

In the meantime, she denied rumours of her starring in Kamal Haasan's Tamil movie Viswaroopam. 'Dudes and duddettes.. Have not been offered any film in tollywood. I would love to work with the above mentioned stalwarts but I aint so lucky,' she added.

We don't know if it was co-incidence or telepathic connection between the two actresses but both Bipasha Basu and Ameesha Patel wore the same outfit by designer Ramona Narang for IIFA's green carpet.

Bipasha was amused when she realised Ameesha was wearing the same outfit. 

'Also last night a fellow actress landed up wearing the same dress in a diff color as me on d green carpet!It ws quite amusing even for me:) Anyways u can't stop the world frm buying d same things n keep a tab on all! So next time I'll plan my green carpet outfit in advance n nt pull out things frm my cupboard last min!' Bipasha tweeted.

Ameesha cleared her side of the story: 'Thank u sweethearts for loving myy iifa dresses. Ramona narang the designer made them 2 months in advance of the event. Thanks again.'
