Famous fashion designer Swapnil Shinde has broken the fragile shackles of society by accepting his sexuality once again. Post-six years of coming out as gay, Swapnil has finally accepted being a transwoman.
The designer shared her transformation pictures on social media along with a long, emotional note. She also changed her name to ‘Saisha’ which means ‘a meaningful life’
The designer, who has dressed a long list of B-town actresses like Sunny Leone, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kiara Advani amongst others has finally found the courage to accept the truth. In her long note, she has mentioned her journey of trauma and triumph that has led her to this moment. “All through school and college, while the boys outside tormented me because I was different, the internal pain was far worse. I felt suffocated living a reality that I knew wasn't mine, yet one that I had to stage every day because of societal expectations and norms. It was only in my early 20s at NIFT where I found the courage to accept my truth; I truly bloomed.”
“I spent the next few years believing that I was attracted to men because I was gay, but it was only 6 years ago that I finally accepted to myself, and today that I accept to you. I'm not a gay man. I am a Transwoman,” Saisha concluded.
Post this revelation, many of her followers as well as tinsel townies showered her with love and affection. Bollywood’s stylist Mohit Rai, Sanam Ratansi, Aastha Sharma and actress Shruti Haasan dropped a couple of hearts in the comments section while makeup artist Shraddha Naik commented, ‘Hats off to you.’ Check out the comments below:
