On May 25, Lalit Salve turned 31, but the Beed constable felt only a year old with this being his first birthday as a man. The entire village joined him in celebrating the special day, cheering him on as he cut his birthday cake.

"Throughout my life, I saw my name on cakes as 'Lalita' but for the first time on this birthday, I saw my name as Lalit. My family and friends also wished me saying 'happy birthday, Lalit'. This is my first year as a man. I have been called Lalit since my first surgery, but it didn't feel as real as it did until my birthday," said Salve.
