Supriya Ganesh, known for her role as Dr. Samira Mohan in HBO Max's 'The Pitt', openly discusses her queer identity and pronouns, revealing their significance in relation to her race and personal experiences. Ganesh, who moved back to the U.S. from India at three, speaks about the restrictive gender roles she encountered and the broader acceptance of gender fluidity in India. Inspired by fellow actor Lily Gladstone, Ganesh emphasizes the importance of representation and authenticity in her identity journey, revealing her intention to resonate with queer brown women in the community.
"In India, you have the existence of a third gender. There is a little more fluidity in how men present themselves, women present themselves."
"I don't need to fit into this... Even though I feel like I identify a lot more with femininity, that doesn't mean I always fit into what is a very Western idea of it."
