Nitisha Biswas Is Breaking The Stereotypes By Becoming India's First Transgender Beauty Queen

Nitasha Biswas, on Sunday, created history by bagging the Miss Trans Queen 2017 title at a beauty pageant held in Gurugram.

Nitasha is a 26-year-old trans woman who hails from Kolkata. A student of St. Xaviers Kolkata, Nitasha completed her management studies and moved to Delhi to pursue a degree in fashion.

Nitisha lost her mother at a young age, and it was her father who played both the roles. She talks very fondly of her family and says, “Initially it was tough for my father to accept that his son was going through a transformation. In fact, it impacted him so deeply that he stopped talking to me for almost seven months. That was perhaps the toughest part of my conversion – not having my family beside me.”
