Teacher undergoes gender change surgery to marry student in Rajasthan

The adage “Everything is fair in love and war” was proven true in the town of Deeg in Bharatpur district of Rajasthan.
Meera Kuntal, a physical education teacher at the Government Secondary School here, has undergone gender change surgery to become a man and now goes by the name Aarav Kuntal. After the gender change, Aarav married Kalpana, his student from the school. They fell in love while in school, but the same gender was creating problems in their lives. That is when he decided to change gender. Speaking about their love affair, Kalpana told the press, “I loved him from the beginning. Even if he had not undergone this surgery, I would have married him. I went along with him for the surgery.”
Aarav said that he was unable to accept his body. He felt trapped within his body. It was way back in 2010 that he came across a newspaper cutting from which he learned about the surgery, and since then, he has wanted to get it done. And, after much research and consideration, they finally zeroed in on Dr. Narendra Kaushik of Olvec Hospital in Delhi.
Speaking to ANI, Aarav Kuntal, the teacher who changed his gender, said, “I always wished to undergo surgery to change my gender. I had my first surgery on 25 December 2019.” His surgery was conducted in phases and lasted three years, which ended in December 2021.
