A controversial new talk show is set to hit TV screens in Southern India on Thursday.

The programme, "Ipadikku Rose", is not only unusual in its subject matter but its new host has certainly broken from the ranks.

The programme will be hosted by Rose, who used to be a boy called Ramesh.

She will be India's first transgender person to host their own talk show on TV.
