The COVID-19 pandemic may have snatched acting and other earning opportunities from L. Preetisha, a 33-year-old transgender person, but she did not get bogged down. She has now opened a mobile tea shop to earn a living and also to provide employment to others in the community.
A resident of Virugambakkam, Ms. Preetisha is currently pursuing a programme in theatre and drama from the Tamil Nadu Open University. Prior to the pandemic, she was an acting trainer and has acted in movies such as Pambu Sattai, Veeraiyan, Vellai Yannai and Ayngaran and has worked with actors such as Keerthi Suresh and Samuthirakani. She was also a theatre artist.
