Veena (ary drama serial)

I think, the whole point is that he as 'Veena' (the character in the play) itself is trying to act like a hijra becuase he doesn't feel like one, i-e the flashbacks etc he keeps having and his infatuation (or whatever you might want to call it with beenish chohan) shows how he is actually uncomfortable with leading the life of a hijra. It doesn't come naturally to him because he doesn't seem to be comfortable with it, hence why 'Veena' has to try to act like a hijra- and you can see the effort going into that.

I think he's acting superbly.
