But this was no easy feat as Archie had to fight many stereotypes just to make space for herself in this world. She was even told that she is not a real woman by an agent. To that, she replied:

She mentioned that even after standing up for herself, the agent didn’t take her on because they wanted a woman who wasn’t trans. 

Archie grew up in a middle-class family and always knew about her true identity. Not wanting to hide,  she came out publicly at the age of 17. 

Before becoming a model, Archie used to work as a social worker. She wanted to bust the stigma around trans people and create awareness about their realities.

She became a model as it gave her the platform to do so and soon it became her passion.  

While she was pursuing a career in modeling, she was also going through gender-reassignment surgery.

She took part and won the Miss Trans India, became show stoppers for many shows, and was even a brand ambassador for a brand. 

While in conversation with News18, Archie shared that: 

Archie now hopes to create more awareness about trans people and fight the stigma set against them using the international platform. 

This is a moment of celebration for not just her but the whole of the trans community because such steps will help them fight against the discrimination they face on a daily basis.
