Mumbai: Not just in the movies, there are real-life villains as well, ready to threaten lovebirds. And that's what this Kerala trans-couple is facing - Aarav Appukuttan, who was born Bindu, and Sukanyeah Krishnan who was born Chandu. The two had met during their respective gender transformation treatment at Mumbai's Kokilaben Ambani hospital and fallen in love.
After their story went viral following mid-day's report on August 21, along with support on social media have come abusive messages, threatening them with dire consequences.
Talking to mid-day, Krishnan said, "Since our love story has gone viral on social media, we both have been getting death threats online from unknown users."
A few days ago, someone even called on Krishnan's mobile phone and said 'Whatever you are doing is wrong. If you give an interview on TV or to any other media, we will see to it' and hung up.
Appukuttan said, "There are many people who are against us. They don't like what we are doing, because of which we are receiving abusive messages on social media. They have attacked us in such deplorable language that I can't even repeat the words."
