She is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, motivational speaker and a social worker. She is in her mid-twenties. I was first introduced to her in the inauguration of her NGO called ‘KALA’, which works for betterment and prosperity of transgenders. Her young age is the major reason of her being in news.
