Ashish Chopra is a true trailblazer in India. Ashish is a drag queen, entrepreneur and the proud owner of Beunic, he has also starred in India’s first MTV gay reality TV show “Elevator Pitch”. Ashish has had to overcome many obstacles when coming out in India, he still works each and every day for the fight of equality in India. We discuss the process of him coming out to his family and their process of accepting him in a more traditionally conservative country. We also discuss his journey with drag and his prime inspirations for drag and his process of Mr. Gay India. Ashish discusses his brand new brand in which he and his mother create shoes for the trans community! It was such an honor and inspiration to speak with Ashish this week.
