Biswajit was one of the earliest actors in Hindi, to venture into the drag territory — dressing up as a woman for a song sequence ('Kajra Mohabbat Wala') with Babita, who masqueraded as a man in "Kismat". Big B raised eyebrows when he did a sequence in Prakash Mehra's "Lawaris" in drag. The versatile Aamir Khan was in drag in Ashutosh Gowariker's "Baazi" for a number, and Ashutosh Rana played a transsexual politician Shabnam Mausi — a role he's said to have enjoyed playing.
