CHANDIGARH: "Death of parents hurt all children equally, irrespective of their gender. But there could be no match to the pain of a child who learns about father's death after 10 years when you know that you can't get the last glimpse nor could you touch him. And all this because you were abandoned for being born as a third gender," said Mumbai-based documentary film-maker Hitesh Rattan while talking about her upcoming film on third gender society, more commonly known as kinnars.

The film will be based on the true story of Kajal Mangalmukhi, who belongs to kinnar society in Chandigarh, as it was her experiences that inspired Rattan for picking up "kinnar samaj" as the subject for making this documentary film titled "Beyond Imagination".
