Arjun Ujgare, Lalit's uncle

"From today, we will call him Lalit, not Lalita," said Arjun Ujgare, the 29-year-old's uncle. As Lalit was wheeled into his first genital reconstruction surgery yesterday, his family members was flooded with calls from their native place, Beed. People from Lalit's hometown were not always as open to his choices, but have since come around.
