This Man turned Into "Meera" for his ‘Krishna’ from Pakistan





This Is A love story Of A Lucknow Man Who turned Into Meera for his ‘Krishna’ from Pakistan and crosses All boundaries of caste, creed and even gender.

 A kathak dancer from Lucknow has undergone sex change surgery to live a normal life with Pakistani beloved, Rizwan, braving opposition. "It began on a very usual note about five years ago," Gaurav, now renamed Meera, told TOI from Mumbai where she is right now to meet surgeon Dr Mithlesh Mitra, who operated upon her.

Meera said she grew up normal, had affairs with women and was about to marry when she met Rizwan over a social networking site in connection with her PhD. "The topic was related to Sufism which has always reasoned everything around me. He represents a Sufi school of thought too and was helping me understand the nuances for my work."

The duo's bond grew deeper as they chatted online. "A time came when we started feeling that we are an extension of each other's soul,'' said Meera, who has never met Rizwan and is likely to meet him when he visits her in March.

"The companionship grew stronger and a time came when he became my mehboob (beloved). In Sufism, that is the pinnacle of love and devotion that crosses boundaries of caste, creed and even gender.''

Meera said they were amazed to find their personalities and thinking matched cent percent. "I did not realise when he accepted my feelings for him and our bond developed so deep.''

She said they felt their end was near as committing to anyone else was suicidal when Rizwan's mother started looking for a match for him.

"Internet surfing gave the solution in the form of sex conversion surgery for which both of us volunteered.''

Meera approached Dr Mitra, who sent him for six-month counselling, over a year ago. "Hormone therapy was the next step to prepare for conversion.''

Meera's family barring her sister, an actress in Mumbai, was against his decision. "Three surgeries took place in August, September and October to help me embrace a dream life with my beloved," said Meera.

Meera cited poet Rumi saying "reason is powerless in the expression of love" to explain her love.

She said some of her friends in Lucknow fear for her future and ask what would happen if Rizwan betrays her.

"I have immense faith in the Almighty. And I know that even if he does something which I do not want... it will be for my good." She called kathak her life. "...I cannot live without it. Now, Rizwan is by my side in my endeavour."
