In a country like India, where people from the LGBTQ+ community are not getting legal rights for marriage, a series named, ‘Rainbow Rishta’ could make some kind of a change. Prime’s Docu-series Rainbow Rishta is based on the love life of the LGBTQ+ community. The trailer of this series has been released and soon we will get to see these amazing real-life stories on November 7.
This docu-series is a collection of six real life stories of queer people, including Daniella Mendonca, Trinetra Haldar Gummaraju, Sanam Chaudhary, Lush Monsoon, Aneez Saikia, Sadam Hanjabam, Soham Sengupta, Suresh Ramdas. VICE studios present this series is directed by Jaydeep Sarkar. A story where accepting love is important, a story defined by the deep journey of these people exploring themselves, recognising themselves, finding love and their desire to live a life just like other ordinary people. It focuses on the prime point that everyone has a right to love.
Still, there is a small portion of society who look at queer people in disguise and judge them as abnormal, which in fact, is wrong. Many people are coming out with their real recognition due to the space social media have provided us. But we need a transformation which this docu-series can help to bring out. The whole motive of this docu-series is to make people understand about a basic need for human being, ‘Love’.
Who are these people in the series?
Daniella Mendonca is the first Indian intersex ted talk speaker. Trinetra Haldar Gummaraju, a transgender activist and medical doctor who is now in the field of content creation too. Sadam Hanjabam is a founder of a Manipur-based queer NGO. Aishwarya Ayushmaan aka Lush Monsoon is a human rights lawyer. Suresh Ramdas is an LGBTQ+ speaker in the corporate world.
The real life experiences of these people without a scripted version will definitely surprise us and will introduce us to the new world.
