About the Series
The series will cover the major events of the life and struggle of Mumbai based transgender activist Gauri Sawant, who is currently serving as the Director of Sakhi Char Chowghi that helps transgender people and people with HIV/AIDS. She was earlier the brand ambassador of Election Commission in Maharashtra.
Taali means “clap” and the reason behind choosing it as the series’ title is that in India, transgenders are often stereotyped as a community that claps near people while asking for people. Sreegauri Sawant has broken that stereotype and emerged as an inspiration for people. She is has adopted a girl who was left alone to be sold in the marsh of prostitution.
