Here's why transgender beauty queen Nitasha Biswas has our attention

If art indeed reflected reality, this would come as a happy news for those who hope and battle for a positive change in society. Transgender beauty queen and motivational speaker, Nitasha Biswas is all set to make her small screen debut with 'Dating In The Dark' on MTV, in her quest to find love. Her honest confessions, as seen on the trailer of the show left teary-eyed as she gave spoke about her journey of transition. The 26-year-old trans woman hails from Kolkata and is a graduate of St Xaviers Kolkata. She completed her management studies and shifted to the Indian capital to study fashion.

Nitasha was born as a boy in a conservative Bengali family. However, rejections did not deter her or bog her down!  The stylish Nitasha knows how to keep her head and heels high! "Being a transwoman in India, rejections are a part of our lives. We have faced and continue to face rejections from workplace, friends, family and whom we fall in love with. I believe, love has no gender and it is this positive attitude and confidence that I hold that lets me believe, I will find my soulmate who will embrace me regardless," Nitasha had earlier said in a statement. A few years after the sex change operations, at 26, she won the crown as India's first trans beauty queen and has represented India at the international level which left her detractors stunned and her well-wishers joyful.

About her experience on Dating In The Dark, she says, "It was quite eventful. I went on two dates. I did not find love but I'm glad, I could confess to my second date about my journey on national television without any hesitation. It took a lot of courage but it was great to see my date had no qualms spending time with me." Well, we wish for more such heart-warming television moments.
