<\/a>One day, Tulsi Ghimire came to my house and asked me for some discussions with awkward feelings, “I have a role in my movie. The role is of a transgender. I brought a transgender from Kalimpong, but she could not act properly. Friend informed me that Santosh Panta can play this role, so I have come to you. Please accept my offer.”<\/p>\nI always loved to play different roles. When Tulsi asked, there was no reason to say no. Then, I studied about transgender life for some time. Then, I played as a transgender in “Koseli”. That was the time when I first got idea about transgender.<\/p>\n
The sequence of shooting had some memorable happenings. My role was of a transgender woman. I did makeup. I dressed like a woman. I became beautiful. There was a person in the unit who could not speak, he cooked food for us. I teased him. I pinched him and we flirted. He felt like I loved him.<\/p>\n
When he gave me meat, he used to give me the best ones from the cook. After shooting completed, I used to wear my military dress and go back in bike. He never got to know, I was a boy. Maybe he searched me a lot afterwards. Sometimes I feel, I did injustice on him.<\/p>\n
I am also a father. My daughter Caitlin was the one who taught me what it means to be one. She talked to me about this. When she knew that she was a transgender, she started to talk with her mother.<\/p>\n
One day, she talked with me about this. I said, “You are so intelligent baby.” That time, she had already returned after visit from US.\u00a0 She was selected from a program called Hobby, during 16s. She had already known about sex change during her visit, then came back and talked with me about it. Then I also told her, I shall send you to US. I asked her to complete her studies first and become what she wanted. But she said, until then it will be very late.<\/p>\n
She is now really beautiful. She is doing modeling in US.\u00a0 I am very happy. She wished, I understood her wishes. I am very glad to my son, who helped his sister for her transformation.<\/p>\n
I want to send my voice to them, who do not understand this. I want to tell them individually, and then only the society will change. Because people feel that way internally, so they do like this. People gotta understand.<\/p>\n
“I love you”. Saying these words are not enough. Merely feeding your child egg and meat is not love. You need to understand your children’s feelings. This is love.<\/p>\n
Why I spent my money on her is that, I have to give her my part, even if she is son, even if she is daughter, why not for her then? I gave attention to her feelings in time. That is why she could become beautiful lady. Everyone must understand this feeling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
