This should serve to sensitise people to a level where she doesn’t have to carry her achievements certificate as her introduction. Let’s talk about Dhananjay at the next level now
'Admitted', a docu-drama by filmmaker Ojaswwee Sharma on the biographical journey of Mx Dhananjay Chauhan from a transgender to a Phd scholar and eminent transwoman, is finally releasing today.
