Cannot stop thinking about @QueerParivaar, I don’t remember the last time I cried like that. I love my life but my God sometimes it’s extremely hard without a single member of my biological family by my side but I’m so blessed to have finally found my chosen Queer family.
So honoured to have my film @QueerParivaar win the prestigious @irisprize ‘Best British Short’ award 🏆😭♥️ Huge congratulations to everyone involved in its making, this was such a personal labour of love. And thank you to the jury, audiences, and team at Iris! What a dream!
And the Best British Short Winner is... Queer Parivaar
Highly commended films were Nant, The Rev and A Fox in The Night.
Well done to all films in this category too!!!
Had the absolute pleasure of chatting with @zoyashvikh about all things @QueerParivaar ♥️✨
Thank you for the lovely feature @gaytimes, and for amplifying our work!
Director Shiva Raichandani sat down with GAY TIMES to discuss the film debut of Queer Parivaar and representing the South Asian queer community 🧡

creating the kind of trans visibility baby shiva needed and continues to need. joyful, loving, and euphoric. such an honour privilege to be able to tell these stories of trans liberation with actual trans people i admire and look up to ✨
