When Nirasha was born, her family was disappointed and didn't want a girl child and hence named her that. All her childhood and young adult life went in being bullied for her name. Today, she came forward to narrating her story in this short video. âNirasha' hails from a village in Maharashtra and currently living in Mumbai. Her life story is upsetting and alarming and is something which happens a lot in India.
Coincidentally, the audiences had witnessed a similar story in an upcoming TV show âFaltu' where the girl child was ignored and overlooked for her birth. âFaltu' is a story of a girl from Rajasthan fighting for her existence & to be treated equally. In the pursuit of proving herself to the world & chasing her dream Faltu represents each & every disregarded girl. The rights of oppressed girls like âNirasha' and âFaltu' around the world need a voice. This âWorld Girl Child Day' calls for people to become that voice of change and empower them.
