Early Life

Pooja Sharma, also known as Pooja Sharma Rekha, hails from a middle-class family in a small village near Kolkata. Despite being assigned male at birth, Pooja showed a preference for feminine activities from a young age, which led to social alienation. She faced various hardships, including sexual assault and societal discrimination, which deeply affected her childhood.[2]

As Pooja grew older, she found solace in the transgender community, eventually relocating to Mumbai at the invitation of her acquaintances. This move marked a significant turning point in her life, offering her a sense of belonging and acceptance within the community.[2]

Upon arriving in Mumbai, Pooja initially explored various means of livelihood, including begging at traffic signals. However, she eventually found her niche entertaining passengers on local trains with her dancing skills and blessings, earning her the endearing nickname "Junior Rekha."[2][7][8][9][10]

Her popularity soared, leading to a sizable following on platforms like Instagram and YouTube. Drawing inspiration from Bollywood icons like Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit, and Rekha, Pooja became a symbol of beauty and grace in her own right.[2][11][12][13][14]

Despite her newfound fame, Pooja grappled with societal prejudice and a lack of acceptance. She endured ridicule and was often referred to derogatorily, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by transgender individuals in Indian society.[2][11][12][13][14]
