"'Indian Super Queen' would bring the community of transgenders to unite and give a positive vibe about who and what they are," said Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, known as Laxmi, CEO of Twelve Noon Entertainment.

"It is not about who is the best and most aesthetically beautiful, it's about who is willing to proudly display their character, take pride in who they are and to prove that they are just as 'human' as all of us," added Laxmi, the prominent and popular activist working for the transgender community.
