Continued from page u0010 u000f LALITu2019S transition from Lalita, a woman constable from Beed, had started in April . . . u00a2 . A month later, he sought the governmentu2019s permission for the surgery, and to continue as a male constable afterwards. After going through a series of medical procedures, Salve stepped into a new phase of his life last year and he rejoined the service. And since then, his family has been looking for a suitable bride for him.
u201c My parents were thinking I was getting too old for marriage, so they were looking for a girl,u201d said Salve, chuckling. u201c Finally, a relative told them about Seema. I was sceptical about any woman accepting me after my transformation. I could understand how difficult it would be for anyone to digest the fact that I have become a man from a woman through surgery. But, Seema proved me wrong,u201d he added.
u201c When we first met, I asked whether she knows everything about me, to my surprise, she knew all the details about my struggle and procedures, she revealed that she was reading about it very keenly, this not only relieved me but helped me from having any prejudices about her,u201d added Lalit.
After discussing everything in detail, we gave the green signal for marriage and finally tied the knot on February . . at Aurangabad. u201c My wife, Seema, is studying Arts in Aurangabad and is in the third year. We will initially move to Majalgaon. After getting a transfer that is due, I will change my location accordingly,u201d he added.
When asked about his entire journey from Lalita to Lalit, Salve said he was thankful to every person who helped him. u201c I have invited all these people to my wedding reception on February . . . Dr Rajat Kapoor, who had performed the surgeries, will also be coming,u201d he said, adding that right now he just wants to spend some time with his wife. u201c My life has gone through many ups and downs until now, so for few days, I just want to be with my wife, relax and think about the future, Salve said.
