Transgender

Actress

Shubhi Sharma

, who plays the role of Chanda in the TV show, she reveals the tradition of

Makar Sankranti celebrations

in their

community

.
She said, "Makar Sankranti celebrations are equally significant in our community. The community also comes out wearing new clothes, enjoying a procession and sharing blessings. Although the festival is celebrated differently in each region with distinct rituals, food, and names, it signifies the same thing that is the arrival of longer days, the beginning of the

harvest season

, and the triumph of light over darkness."
She continued how

charity

is a traditional ritual in their community while celebrating the harvesting

festivities

.

She added, "Bonfires, kite flying, sharing sweets, and donating to charity are common ways of celebrating Makar Sankranti. Hence our community receives a huge charity from people around us. Renowned celebrities and politicians

donate

a huge sum of money to us. And the share is distributed among everyone in our community."
The actress who is receiving immense popularity for her performance on television screens is also taking responsibility for 40 aspiring transgenders. She will be hosting a festival get-together for them.

She shared, "I'm Guru (Teacher) to many transgenders. Say I have 40 followers and I celebrate the festival with them. I gift them new sarees, sweets, gifts and blessings. And I organise a feast for all of them. We also invite the less fortunate transgenders who are at signals and gift them basic food grains and new clothes. We also distribute food to the poor without gender discrimination. It's a wrong theory that we transgenders only take charities, but the fact is we never think about the future and if there is too much with us in the present, we share and help others."
