When we see them we are scared of them, we try avoiding them and treat them indifferently. Even in Bollywood, the Hijra (trans-genders) community has often been portrayed either as villainous or as comical brash creatures, manically clapping hands, singing in unison with brazen voices.

But Miraj Entertainmnet Ltd. "Queens Destiny of Dance", an up-coming movie, will be Bollywood's first movie to breach such stereotypical point-of-views, by portraying the lives of Indian trans-genders in a dignified manner, while being realistic and honest to the facts. In fact, most of the movie's cast includes actual real-life Hijras, which in itself is quite the liberating act, introducing the trans-gender community as protagonists (for once) to Bollywood, instead of as the antagonist, or the comical filler.
