	In 2010, a [[Tamil language\|Tamil]] film ''[[Goa (2010 film)\|Goa]]'', dealt with gay couples, their love and romance. In 2016, [[Aligarh (film)\|Aligarh (2016 film)]], was released centering on the life of a gay professor who was accused of homosexuality. The release of Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga (2019) was a landmark in LGBT representation in media. The character of Sweety played by actress Sonam Kapoor is a lesbian and is shown to be in a relationship with Kuhu (played by Regina Cassandra). The film mainly focuses on coming out to an Indian conservative family and throws light on the struggles of a young gay teenager and the insecurities they carry well into adulthood.
