Individuals and brands
support Pride Month in different ways. Some change their display images and
some launch campaigns. The US Embassy in India did it its own way with a
message from a popular queer icon.
On a recent reel
uploaded on their Instagram, actor, content creator and doctor Tinetra Haldar
sends out a message to the queer community, especially kids still navigating
their queer journey. She emphasises how “you can be everything society says you
can’t be.” She even shares her own experience about how her family took 15
years to understand that she is their daughter. She explains how transitions
and acceptance can be slow, but they have the entire community fighting for
them.
Trinetra gained
widespread recognition on social media for sharing her experiences as a
transwoman. Her relatable stories quickly resonated with many, leading to
numerous collaborations and a notable role as Meher Chaudhary in Season 2 of Made
In Heaven. Beyond her acting achievements, Trinetra is a doctor and a
dedicated transgender activist, tirelessly advocating for the rights and
acceptance of the queer and trans community, and using her platform to educate
and inspire others toward a more inclusive society.
