Bengaluru nurtured me; made me whole again: Queen Andro

Queen Andro moved to Bengaluru in 2010 for whom she thought was the love of her life. “I came here when I was 18, from Darjeeling, with the love of my life. Well, who I thought was the love of my life. We were young, in love and we wanted to start our life in Bengaluru.”

Within a year, however, the relationship fizzled into the worst heartbreak that the young trans person had ever been through. “I was devastated, yearning for that same feeling of love again,” she admits.

For Andro, Bengaluru was a catalyst in her journey towards self-love. “The city’s energy pushed me to confront my vulnerabilities, celebrate my individuality, and build a life rooted in self-love,” she says.

“Unlike other bustling cities, Bengaluru doesn’t push you out; it invites you in. It gives you a space to just be yourself and let go. That’s what I love most about it – it nurtures you, lets you blossom,” she says.

“I feel a deep connection with Shantinagar and Richmond Town — that’s where my college was situated. Every time I’m crossing Richmond Town I get so emotional. Now, 14 years later, the clubs and the quaint bookstores scattered over the city have become like a second home to me,” explains Andro. Be it daily rituals or simply soaking in the peaceful energy, Andro says, “ The city reminds me to ground myself and has made me who I am today: a stylist, makeup artiste, theatre artiste, model, content creator, and singer. I discovered my own creative spark in this city.”

‘It’s still a surprise to many that I can speak fluently in Kannada’I have always been very inquisitive about languages, so I learned Kannada pretty quickly. Just imagine, I used to have blonde hair and could fluently speak Kannada. It always caught auto drivers by surprise; it made me happy to see how happy they were to hear me speak the language.
