![]() Here is when Falguni makes her entry, dancing with Ayesha in the hills. It began with Ayesha Takia entering a castle-like house, which eventually cages her inside.Īlong with a white rabbit, she carries with herself memories of the past. In the video of “ Meri Chunar Udd Udd Jaye” (my stole is flying away), one sees a story unfolding in mysterious ways. Later, she came to be known as one of the earliest queer icons in India, and rightfully so. Her indie music videos included little hints at queerness, here and there… Not to mention her larger-than-life yet soft, gender non-conforming presence. Let us, for instance, go back to the ’90s and explore the unique way in which Falguni Pathak expressed queerness on screen. While newer videos in the Indian media have limited themselves to common stereotypes (misogyny and the like), there was a time when music videos were filled with endless possibilities. The charm of these videos isn’t, however, limited to nostalgic purposes. I remember sitting at home, during summer vacations, and patiently waiting for a music channel to play the video I was hoping for.
