This transgender will represent India in an international beauty pageant

The fashion graduate from Bangalore University has had an interesting journey through films, mobile theatre and has multiple design prizes to her name. Bishesh is one of the state’s highest paid theatre actresses who also runs her own bridal beauty salon. Huirem told a local newspaper that she is proud and excited at the opportunity to represent India. 

She also spoke regretfully about the hostile discrimination that her community faces in her home state. But the haters will be silenced when, subject to sponsorship, she flies to Thailand this November with the Indian rainbow cheering her on. 

Though Huirem’s representation is a definite win for India, there was a dearth of sponsors for the event. But on the brighter side, trans-models in India and internationally are finally breaking barriers.
