Shoma Chaudhury's video: Riveting Abhishek Kapoor Vaani Kapoor interview on love transgenders busting stereotypes

Imagine the most fundamental imprisonment: a woman’s mind trapped in a man’s body. Or vice versa. Then imagine the liberation of transiting. Of being in sync. And finding love. Director ABHISHEK KAPOOR & actor VAANI KAPOOR talk about their joyous, entertaining, perception-altering film Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui , which takes on the worst stereotypes around transgenders & turns them on their head.

This is the start of a super important conversation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 Introduction 2:19 What core idea grabbed Abhishek 3:54 Depicting Maanvi's pain 6:34 What grabbed Vaani 9:05 Dominant ideas derived from interacting with trans people 14:30 Vaani's key to Maanvi's essence 16:56 Most challenging scene 19:15 Casting Vaani for the role 24:51 Body dysphoria and identity affirmation 27:57 Simple story-telling for delivery 30:46 Gender stereotypes and family's response 32:48 How has the role transformed Vaani 36:21 Feminism and Vaani's film choices 39:36 What shaped Abhishek's film-making 40:38 Vaani on the insider-outsider debate 42:19 Abhishek's defining moment 45:15 Real-life transgender person who inspired them --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .
