About

Thank you for booking your free ticket(s) for the Ek Aasha screening on 17th November and thank you for your donation. This will be distributed to transgender actors of Ek Aasha.

Lead actress’s Profile:

Disha Yadav was only 19 when she stepped her foot outside of Delhi, for the first time, in order to commence shooting for Ek Aasha in Surat, India. Disha had to discontinue her education after 4th grade due to her gender identity, but she continued her education in her own way by watching TV, films and people around her slum. Although her dad left the family because of Disha, she considers herself as a lucky Kinnar/Hijra because her mother supported her in her own way. Disha leads her life as a traditional Kinnar/Hijra person and gives blessings to people in return for money. In India some people believe in the blessings of Hijras. This is the only culturally accepted work that a Kinnar can do. Now Disha is keen to see the whole world, however, we are struggling to make her passport as I type this due to the bureaucracy and her identity issues.

Great movie-it brings in limelight some of the hidden issues that make lives of millions of transgender people miserable in India! The movie could be a strong tool to raise awareness about many issues that this group faces in India and beyond.
