Sushmita Claps Back At Naysayers in Taali Trailer

First she was Ganesh, and then Gauri.

The official trailer for “Taali”, the 2023 web series, unveils generous glimpses of Sushmita Sen playing protagonist Shreegauri Sawant, a leading transgender activist from India.

Prior to the release of the actor’s first look, there were whispers of discontent among some members of the LGBTQ+ community, who expressed a desire to witness a transgender individual embodying the character. However, Shreegauri Sawant herself silenced these naysayers with her grace and poise, expressing her genuine delight in having the former Miss Universe bring life to this challenging role.

As the trailer unfolds, we are treated to the spectacle of Sushmita Sen exuding elegance while adorned in resplendent saris, accentuated by a striking and audacious red bindi, perfectly capturing the essence of her character. Her performance leaves a lasting impression, as she adeptly modulates her voice to match the persona of Shreegauri Sawant, showcasing her dedication to authenticity and depth in her portrayal.

“Taali” promises to be an emotional rollercoaster, chronicling Gauri’s transformation from a young boy who dreams of embracing motherhood to an indomitable and self-assured activist, fiercely fighting for the rights and dignity of transgender individuals. Mark your calendars for August 15, as “Taali” will be available for streaming exclusively on JioCinema.
