Swapnil shared a few close-up pictures of herself. With long hair and makeup, Saisha looks absolutely impressive in these pictures. Her post read, "Irrespective of your origin, there will always be something that reminds you of your childhood. For me, it takes me back to the kind of loneliness that aches, to pressures that pushed me into solitude and the chaos of confusion that grew every moment. All through school and college, while the boys outside tormented me because I was different, the internal pain was far worse."
He added, "I felt suffocated living a reality that I knew wasn't mine, yet one that I had to stage everyday 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.” She also explained the reason behind her name and wrote, “Here we go 2021. P.s : Saisha means a meaningful life and I plan to make mine an exceptionally meaningful one.”
