Malaika, A Chennai girl will be India's first contestant in the Thailand, Miss International Queen Pageant 2011.
Born male, Malaika, 28, has been through four major surgeries and a
series of medical treatments to transform into the dancer-model pictured on the left..
However, Malaika still does not have a sponsor. She said:
“The contest requires me to wear seven different costumes including a
grand evening gown, a traditional dress and a swimsuit. I also have to
bear the expenses of the travel and accommodation for the special
make-up artist I need for the talent round. Unless I get a sponsor, I
cannot participate".However, Malaika still does not have a sponsor. She said:
Hopefully she will be successful finding a sponsor and becoming a positive transgendered influence in India.
