Lock Upp: Saisha Shinde reveals Transwomen are stripped in public to confirm if they are women; promises to donate 50 % of her income from the show

Ace designer, Saisha Shinde, who is coming across one of the strongest contestants of Lock Upp jail made a shocking revelation in the latest episode of the show. During the Ticket to finale task, challenger and troublemaker Prince Narula gave an opportunity to Saisha and asked her to speak on camera about the difficulties people from the transwoman community have to daily go through so that it creates an awareness amongst the people. Saisha revealed that many transwomen are asked to remove their clothes or are stripped in public to prove their gender.

Prince told Saisha, "I am giving you a chance, one of my close friends belongs to your community LGBTQI+ and he told me that Saisha Shinde is representing the community inside the Lock Upp jail. When you go inside you please tell her to reveal to the world the challenges a transwoman and the people from the community face. Because of a few nonsense people what difficulties people from the community and their families have to go through. Trans Women have to face humiliation in the outside world and because of which they stop going out. Please inform the world of the challenges you all face."

Saisha walked towards the camera and made the revelation which left everyone shocked, she said, "There are so many trans women out there who are stripped publicly to prove that they are women. We have to stop this injustice and we have to together bring this change into the world. That change can only come when privileged people like me come out and talk about it openly without any fear and also accept it. I also like to add a special thing (Saisha gets emotional)."

She further promised to donate 50 percent of her income from the show towards charity, she said, "Whatever money I am making through this show, I've decided to donate 50 percent of the same to the trans community NGO's and charitable trusts that are run by me."

All the inmates applauded and cheered for Saisha Shinde.
