Adorned in bright colours, glittering jewellery and elaborate make-up and dreams soaring high, never were the female form much appreciated and celebrated to such a degree as done by the Super Queens of the city. Shunned by the society and desperately trying to find their niche and identity, the Indian Super Queen contest, to be held in India for the first time, has finally given a voice and much deserved glamour to the transgender community.

Vcare India Super Queen contest conceptualised by Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, CEO of Twelve Noon Entertainment, who was also one of the judges of the contest, held its auditions in the city where three candidates were selected to participate in the semi-finals in Mumbai, scheduled on February 6.
