Apurva has also shared two pictures along with the tweet. He can be seen posing with Siddhant in one of the pictures while the other one shows their initials imprinted on a nameplate that has been hung outside the front door of their new home. Here’s what he has written on his tweet, “For 13 years we pretended to be cousins so we could rent a home together. We were told 'keep curtains drawn so neighbors don't know 'what' you are'. We recently bought our own home. Now we voluntarily tell neighbors we are partners. It's time LGBTQ families are normalized too.”

Have a look.

For 13 years we pretended to be cousins so we could rent a home together. We were told 'keep curtains drawn so neighbors don't know 'what' you are'. We recently bought our own home. Now we voluntarily tell neighbors we are partners . It's time LGBTQ families are normalised too. pic.twitter.com/kZ9t9Wnc7i
