Colors’ Shakti has got the shocking revelation of Soumya’s truth of being a transgender. Soumya was not aware of this bitter truth, that changed her identity to complete different one. Soumya was living her life with all hope to start a new life with Harman. Harman and Soumya got married.
Soumya’s mother Nimmi breaks out the truth to Surbhi about Soumya being a kinner/transgender. Surbhi gets a huge shock as she regarded her sister to be always normal and never imagined such a thing about Soumya. The bigger shock goes to Soumya, when she faces her life’s worst truth. Nimmi asks Surbhi to keep Harman away from Soumya, so that they can hide Soumya’s truth for more time. Nimmi worries for the worse day when the society will know Soumya’s gender truth and create troubles for her.
Surbhi succeeds to keep Harman away from Soumya, but could not keep Soumya away from the truth. Soumya visits the temple, where she meets many eunuchs and gets to know she is one of them. Soumya shatters knowing her truth. The eunuchs tell her that she can just bless someone from far and not get related to anyone. Soumya has no rights to marry someone. Soumya is regarded a curse for Harman. Soumya thinks where will this truth lead her now. The show has got a bold concept. What do you think about Soumya’s identity crisis in Shakti? Let us know in this poll. You may leave a comment as well.

This show is little diff.. From all other saas bahu drama!!.. Nice concept.. Leads chemistry is also good.. But.. Transgender.. Is little bitter one.. Anyways.. Nice concept.. Showing how transgender can overcome all difficulty!!.. No writer has wrote this!!..
It would be better to say Soumya is a hermaphrodite (has both s*x organs), which would explain why her father tried to bury her alive when she was newly born. It also explains why her mum is avoiding the wedding night, and wants Harman to get to know Soumya better as a person before the truth comes out. I think the Haya moments will be poignant if Harman continues to care for and see Soumya as a girl, rather than a kinnar, going against social norms. My issue is if they suddenly make Surbhi a b*t*h, and tries to steal Harman away. Sick of seeing the evil sister in dramas. I want to see Surbhi fight for Soumya and Harman’s relationship, rather than turn her into another piss poor vamp type villain.
sorry guys I’m not Indian so I do not know what Indian perspective of a transgender truly is, but what I know is even if inters*x people really do exist they usually have gonads of one s*x and s*xual orientation of another . And as for human hermaphrodites , they biologically do not exist since humans can only be of one s*x , but anomalies that occur before birth can cause a person to have external gonads of a different s*x and such people are wrongly termed as hermaphrodites , an analysis of the persons chromosomes can tell the biological s*x of a person and they can have surgery to change their bodies to the type of s*x they choose. Personally , I am a great fan of this show and a die hard lover of Haya but the show could have been much better if the makers had done more research on the topic b4 airing the show . Also help me out here , if Soumya is transgender with male organs how could she live her life without noticing differences btn her and her sister ? and how can she stay married to harmaan ?
Who cares if she is interes*x or transgender..How can she be so naive and clueless about herself..Another thing this may be a good social issue but it has bordered on dishonesty and deceit by not revealing who she really is to harman and his famil..
how cand these ppl be respected when they themselves are dishonest and disloyal..
I strongly support RekhaVV, the third s*x is also the creation of God,they should also have right to everythig.
I am proud to say that Odisha is first state to include the transgender into mainstream by providing them the basic needs like other people and giving them jobs.
But yes will miss the HaYa scenes so much,pls do make stand Harman for Somu and also show the bond between sisters to grow more stronger…
Yes actually many government recognise inters*x as third s*x and have included them in all aspects of the society unlike ours where they r just made fun
True, how can one not find out by having a Bath. Other Changes in her Body. Total Bulshit. No Story at all. They Should Change this Story line Completely.

I think the writer has done good amount of research work. She has purposefully shown soumya like a girl as their is a condition where a child has ambiguous genitals at birth. (So soumya was considered as an inters*x at birth) but later on it regresses or it can b safely removed and the female can have normal fertility. So their r chances that she may turn this story once she has shown how soumya fights everyone with nimmi surbhi and Harman at her side. Writer might even show that she has a normal life with Harman. But that will b revealed in future we can just wait and watch..
And for those who don’t even know the difference between transgender and inters*x we can’t keep explaining to u… Sorry…
To a great extent I agree with you Rekhav that Sou is an inters*x case that could easily be treated through surgery . Her big shock when knowing she is a kinar shows that she does not have any male private organs. Therefore I myself would support the idea that she is a female with some abnormality that can be operated on. The most important thing is will she be accepted by society after knowing she is an inters*x case? Will she be accepted by Harman as a wife? Will he support her? Will he treat her as a normal wife? Will he choose siding Sou or obeyi the family especially his parents who are desperate to have a grand child? How will they look at Sou? Will they consider getting Harman married ? Ok that’ s fine but in my opinion not to Surbi, Sou’ sister. I hope this option is never to take place because this way Sou will never be able to get over this big shock as whenever she sees her sister she would remember her shocking memories.
Though its a good concept to open up the so called societies eyes but it is very stupid and non sense to declare a child as transgender by birth.
This can’t be determined by birth, it could be identified as early as 2-3 Years.
Definitely it is a poor script who could not even realize this fact. Its better to analize the broad topic before telecasting any serial on it.
There are many questions which might have answered her way before about her being different from her mother & sister
Pls read the comments
Personally think its refreshing to see something new on the screen, that the usual crap. It is a subject area that needs to be discussed and divulged and for people to ultimately learn, that these people are too humans and have a place in society just like anyone else.
I support the concept which is NOLD ; UNIQUE; KNOWLED
Oops typo in above.
I SUPPORT THE CONCEPT WHICH IS BOLD; UNIQUE; KNOWLEDGEABLE.
I ALSO AGREE TO DR REKHAV N VISWA. ??????????????????
The concept is very different
nice concept
Can someone please explain to me how on earth Soumya’s parents could know that she was a kinner as soon as she was born?
babies can be born transgender but the proportion is fairly low and I think if you have a transgender child, he/she will learn about being slightly different physically, hormones. It is totally stupid to think that such a major part of identity could be hidden away safely. Also I am sure the kinner community is not going to go again and again to take the child away, especially since now the child is grown into an adult. very nonscientific concept and in tune with all the stupidity that goes on Indian soap opera.
Agree to Ur point that kinner community won’t keep coming back for the child if parents refuses to hand them the child. And regarding Ur other question. We have discussed a lot in previous comment. And I have seen such cases coming at as late as 22-24 yrs(after marriage) and the person has identity crisis and in confusion.
