The programme, “Ipadikku Rose”, is not only unusual in its subject matter but its new host has certainly broken from the ranks.

The programme is hosted by Rose, who used to be a boy called Ramesh.

She is India’s first transgender person to host their own talk show on TV. BBC World Service’s Outlook programme spoke to Rose about her new show.
