Trinetra Haldar Gummaraju shares how leaving medical school while living as a man became an act of survival - a decision that saved her life. She opens up about the emotional journey of transitioning, the rare gift of her parents’ unconditional support, and their choice to seek therapy to support her. She also speaks powerfully about the legal inequalities trans people face in India, and the real harm of transphobia and homophobia in today’s world.
In the fourth episode of Maybelline Presents BraveTalk with Nikhil and Friends, host Nikhil Taneja sits down with Trinetra who is a doctor, an actor, a creator, and an activist, for a courageous and compassionate conversation about identity, resilience, and the importance of being seen and heard.
This isn’t just a show - it’s a safe space for real, unfiltered conversations about mental health, healing, and hope. Filmed on a college campus with students in the audience, this 5-part series aims to break stereotypes around mental health and remind us all that we’re not alone.
New episode drops every Thursday on this channel.
