NEW DELHI Nov 8: “Everything is fair in love and war” Meera, nay Aarav, and Kalpana have proved it. A lady school teacher underwent a sex change surgery to marry the girl she fell in love in first sight.
The incident was of Bharatpur in Rajasthan where the school teacher changed her gender and got married to Kalpana on Sunday. Meera Kuntal said right from her birth she had the feeling that she was a boy trapped in a girl’s body and in any case wanted to go for sex change.
Meera, a physical education teacher at Bharatpur, fell in love with Kalpana Fouzdar and went through a sex change operation to become Aarav Kuntal to marry her.
Meera met Kalpana during physical education classes at the school. Kalpana played kabaddi at the state level and is reportedly set to travel to Dubai for an international kabaddi tournament in January.
Aarav said he fell in love with Kalpana during their interactions on the school playground but that he had always wanted to be a boy. “I was born a girl but I always thought I was a boy. I always wished to undergo surgery to change my gender. I had my first surgery in December 2019,” he said.
Kalpana, the bride, said she had been in love with Aarav for long and would have married him even if he had not undergone the surgery. “I loved him from the start. Even if he had not done this surgery, I would have married him. I went with him for the surgery,” Kalpana said. Despite the problems, their unconventional wedding, still a rarity in India, has been accepted by their parents.
