LAXMI DISPELS MYTHS ABOUT THE TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY
Wednesday, 16 July, 2008
Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, the eunuch who made news when a documentary on her life was screened at the Mumbai Festival and television channels, will be seen as a contestant on Salman's TV show "Dus Ka Dum".
During the recording of the show, Laxmi's quick wit, humour and nakhras had everyone rolling in laughter. Laxmi dispelled some age-old myths about the transgender community.
Laxmi is a post-graduate and works for social causes in her community. She is one of the 11 people and the first transgender person to be selected to represent the community at the UN to work for human rights.
Tall, impressive and articulate, Laxmi lost in the knockout round much to the disappointment of everyone there.
Salman was particularly disappointed with Laxmi's departure.
And if you think Laxmi is an exception to the eunuch community, then watch out for her beautiful companion whom Salman invited to come back as a contestant on the show! The Dus Ka Dum episode featuring Laxmi will be aired on Friday on Sony Entertainment Television.
