Actor Aniruddh Dave is creating a stir with his latest performance-oriented role-as a transgender in the hit TV show Shakti- Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, a social drama based on the lives of transgenders.
Was he apprehensive about playing a transgender? Anirudh says, “There is a lot of stigmas associated with transgenders in our society. But we must not forget that they are human beings, just like anyone else, and not different from others. It’s a very performance-oriented show with a huge fan following. When I was offered the role and the character was narrated to me, there was no question of saying ‘no’ or having second thoughts.”

Dwelling more on the role, Aniruddh elaborates, “I am not playing a
regular transgender, which we generally see on-screen, wearing big bindi and
sindoor with heavy sarees. I play a male eunuch and the look is inspired by the
concept of Ardhnarishwar. So, you will see me wearing western dresses teamed up
with an Indian look. It’s a kind of mix and match.”
