Kuch sapney apne

Kuch Sapney Apne has been a deeply personal and empowering journey. This film beautifully captures the dreams, struggles, and triumphs of queer folks, told through real voices. Sharing screen space with parents and my allies reinforces the importance of acceptance and love. I hope this film sparks meaningful conversations, challenges stereotypes, and inspires more families to stand by their loved ones. We need more stories that celebrate authenticity and inclusion, and Kuch Sapney Apne is a step in that direction.” Shaman Gupta, a transman working for the rights of the trans community, after studying as an engineer, said, “Kuch Sapne Apne not only celebrates queer love but also delves into the complexities of family relationships. As a trans man, I appreciated how the film used its platform to highlight diverse identities, reminding audiences that the queer community is a vast spectrum—each individual navigating their own unique journey of triumphs and challenges.” Gupta is a recipient of the Dalai Lama Fellowship 2020 for his work with the transmen community in India.
