The Pitt star Supriya Ganesh comes out and shares new pronouns

Actor Supriya Ganesh, who portrays Dr. Samira Mohan in the popular HBO Max series ‘The Pitt’, has opened up about her coming-out experience and her use of she/they pronouns in a new interview, according to ‘Out’.

When questioned about sharing she/they pronouns on social media, Ganesh expressed to Variety that this journey is “absolutely a relationship with my own queerness as well as race.”

Although Ganesh was born in the United States, she moved to India with her parents when she was three years old. She remarked, “Coming [back] to America, I was very shocked by how restrictive the gender roles are, because in India you have the existence of a third gender.”

While acknowledging her femme presentation, Ganesh mentioned, “There are a couple of times where I'm existing outside of that, and I don't always totally feel like I'm fitting into what I think is a very white-conceived perception of femininity.”

She added, “I also want queer brown women to look at me and know that that's someone they can turn to and relate to.” Ganesh also shared that Lily Gladstone inspired her decision to disclose this part of her identity. “Even though I feel like I identify a lot more with femininity, that doesn't mean I always fit into what is a very Western idea of it. So I think that was why I made that decision.”
