Celebrity Fashion Designer Saisha Shinde recalls Aishwarya Rai’s reaction to her transition to a transwoman

Celebrity Fashion Designer Saisha Shinde, formerly recognised as Swapnil Shinde, underwent surgery to emerge as a transwoman. She recalled meeting Aishwarya Rai and Aaradhya Bachchan after her transition and shared their reaction.

On Tisca Chopra’s YouTube channel, Saisha Shinde recalled on a time when she hadn’t publicly announced her gender transition. She went on to mention that although working on a fitting session with Aishwarya Rai, she made it a point to let Aishwarya’s manager know that she was Saisha now, so as not to surprise anyone.

She shared a great experience working with Aishwarya Rai and mentioned how the actress made a point to use the right pronouns and address her by the correct name.

To boot when Aaradhya joined her mother in the midst of the session, Aishwarya introduced Saisha in the most fitting and considerate manner.

Saisha Shinde also opened up to fully accept her true self and publicly announce her transformation. The designer shared that while she was initially scared to do so, it was her belief that the amazing women she had worked with would always support and accept her.
