If you want change, you have to be part of the change process. Navya Singh, is changing the way we look at trans women. This actress, model, dancer and advocate of the trans women community has become a prominent name in the entertainment and fashion industry. She faced gender dysphoria and got reintroduced to her true self in her teen years. After shifting to Mumbai in 2011, she underwent sex reassignment surgery to be one with her gender identity.
She began modelling with the Lakme Fashion Week 2016 and has walked for the likes of Wendell Rodricks and Archana Kocchar. She was the only trans woman to be a part of the show. Recently she acted in Krishna Nandini, a tele-show in which her character was a trans woman professor. Navya has got the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Icon Award as the Super Model of India in 2021.
Navya recently broke barriers by being chosen as one of the top 11 finalists from the Maharashtra for finale of the Miss Universe India 2024 pageant. She will compete with contestants from other states in September. This was the first time that a trans woman is a part of the event.
Navya speaks to The Free Press Journal on her journey to becoming who she is, her career and more.
Excerpts from the interview:
We first want to know about your journey into being a trans woman and who you are.
