India gets its first transgender TV news presenter

Coimbatore, Sep 21 (ANI): A television news station recruited the country's first transgender news anchor, five months after the court ruled that transgender people be recognised as a legal third gender. Padmini Prakash, 31, who works at Lotus News in Tamil Nadu, said that she had faced a lot of discrimination throughout her life, including being disowned by her family. She worked as a dancer and then acted in Tamil soap operas before joining the news channel. Confident of making it big, Prakash said that her becoming a broadcaster could help her bring about a positive change in the Indian society. Recognizing her talent, Lotus News Channel Chairman GK Selvakumar said that Prakash’s fluency and clarity of words makes her eligible for the job. Prakash became so popular with viewers after joining the station last month that she was quickly promoted to become the face of the News Channel's daily 7 pm special bulletin. Sep 21, 2014
