The struggle-filled life of transgender Nadira Mehrin is known to many. However, for the first time, she revealed it on Bigg Boss Malayalam 5 and it left the inmates emotional. From getting sexually attacked by her peers at the age of 13 to strangers asking her 'rate', the contestant shared it all in the show.
Nadira started the task, 'Ente Kadha' narrating the struggles she had faced during her childhood.
"When I was in class VIII, eight of my classmates attacked me. They attempted to remove my clothes to see my sexual organ. I rushed to the staff room to complain. But, instead of consoling me, they asked me to behave like a man," she said. Further, she narrated how she left her home with just Rs 70 after confessing her sexuality to her parents.
Later, Nadira became a part of the community and she says the journey from Najeeb to Nadira was full of struggles.
"One night, a car approached me and a stranger asked me, 'Are you Nadira?'. I said yes and he invited me to the car. He introduced himself as a movie director or producer. Further, the talk changed and he asked me my 'rate'. I reacted violently and he apologized. I was stubborn that I will not leave the car without the police reaching the spot. They took me to the police station, but they changed the story there. They said that I rushed into their car and asked for money, the police officer hit me with the Lathi and pushed me to the lock-up," she narrated.
Further, she spoke about becoming the first transgender to do two post-graduation degrees and being a part of a couple of movies too. Nadira added that she has stepped into Bigg Boss to inspire people like her, who are still confined in their houses.
