One of the bold and new-concept shows to air recently on Indian TV is Krishna Mohini. The show is about a singer Krishna Joshi (Debattama Saha) who sets off to pursue her dreams as she cares for a younger brother who deals with a gender identity crisis. The promos of the show immediately caught the eye of the public as this theme has hardly been explored on Indian TV. Pride March on Indian Television! Krishna Mohini Episode Video on LGBTQ 'Awareness' Gets Mixed Reactions Online.

The only other show which comes to mind is Rubina Dilaik and Vivian D’Sena’s Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki. Even that show was on Colors TV. It was also a love story revolving around an intersex character, Soumya (Rubina Dilaik).

Bold Casting

In Krishna Mohini, the makers have roped in Navya Singh as the professor in Mohan's (Ketaki Kulkarni) college. She plays Anuradha, who will further shape the lives of Krishna and Mohini. This is indeed a bold move for a TV show, as the makers have cast an actual transwoman for the role.

The Show Garners Fans' Love

In April, we learned that Ekta Kapoor and Dibakar Banerjee introduced trans actor Bonita Rajpurohit as one of the leads in LSD 2. Very few would have expected something similar on Indian TV within months. Shehzada: Debattama Saha of Shaurya Aur Anokhi Ki Kahani Fame to Make Bollywood Debut in Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon Starrer.
