But broadly, when talking about social acceptance and the rights and privileges the community has, I don’t see much of a change. It is still a taboo in society. People still find it difficult to come out in front of their families and friends”.
Explaining the concept of the short film, Shipra said, “Love Knows No Gender is a story about a girl who is struggling to come out, thinking her mom will never understand her. And I guess sometimes, we are so scared that we don’t share. It’s about time we talked about such issues openly, and I promise, this story will make anyone teary-eyed”.

Directed by Shivankar Arora, “Love Knows No Gender” will be going live on Shipra’s YouTube Channel Content Ka Keeda on Saturday, 5th December 2020.
