Born a boy, Shrestha started behaving like a girl when she grew up and has been facing discrimination from family and neighbors. It took a turn for the worse when she celebrated last Teej clad in a sari and dancing with other women.

"When my parents came to know that I was a third gender, they thrashed me calling me a eunuch. Others also joined in. Some started pulling my hair. Others started to take off my sari. Even my kid brother called me a eunuch," she recalled.
