Tista Das and Dipan Chakraborty had announced their wedding in April this year.

Thirty-eight-year-old Tista has been a popular face of the transgender community in Kolkata having worked as an actor in films and TV. She met Dipan, 40, from Assam's Lumding a few years back and the two struck a chord instantly. In April, on the occasion of National Transgender Day of Visibility, the duo announced their decision to tie the knot in what is now known as Kolkata's first 'rainbow wedding the first, a transgender couple from Kolkata tied the knot at a social ceremony on Monday setting a new precedent for the LGBT community in the City of Joy.

"We are all ecstatic, not just me but each and everyone who has supported us. It has indeed been a tough ride, facing stiff social stigma. 
"Being social outcasts we only hope this day sends out a message for people to realise that we are humans too, we do have feelings as well and we too have possibilities in life. I can only hope mindsets change and people come out of fear," Dipan said.
