Key Highlights
- Maya Sajan’s retelling of the transwoman’s poignant story in the mono act (HSS Girls) contest was that good.
- Sitting near Renju was Ambilikala, who had come to watch the festival from Thriprayar.
- Someone who is more into poetry than performing arts, she was aware of the travails of the transgender community.
- “But I had no idea what all agonies they have to go through in our society for no fault of theirs, until I saw that superb piece of mono act,” she says.
- “I was so shaken.” Ambilikala went up to Renju and said, “All I could do is to say sorry to you.” She was doing it on behalf of society.
