Bollywood beauty Sonam Kapoor Ahuja found herself in such a situation recently. In a new feature rolled out by Instagram that allows users to be virtually-interviewed by their followers, Sonam received a ton of queries. One of the questions that she was asked read, "Do you love Muslims?" Lovingly, Sonam replied, "I love people of all faiths and beliefs. That's what Hinduism preaches."

One fan asked, "You're such a strong LGBTQ icon. Where do you find the strength and courage?"
