CHENAI: Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, the queen bee of the transgender community and perhaps the most recognisable face in India added a bold, new dimension to the pageant culture. The first transgender to represent Asia Pacific in the UN General Assembly Presidents office as a civil society task force member, Laxmi ideated the country's first ever hunt for the most talented transgender person. It has now shaped up as 'Indian Super Queen' a nationwide beauty pageant and talent hunt, which will have its finale in Mumbai.

The initiative is unique in more ways than one and comes as a turning point in serving the interests of the transgender community on a significantly large scale with Celina Jaitley endorsing the event and an impressive panel of judges including Parmeshwar Godrej, Zeenat Aman and Seema Biswas.
