Tamanna (1998)

In 1975 Mahim, Bombay, eunuch Tikku is the only child of yesteryear Bollywood actress Nazneen Begum, who has fallen upon hard times, is virtually destitute, and is dependent on Tikku, who does make-up/hairdressing of Bollywood actresses. When she passes away, Tikku is beside himself with grief. After the funeral, he witnesses a woman leaving a child in a garbage bin. Longing for human company after his mother's death, Tikku picks up the girl-child, decides to keep her, names her Tamanna, and brings her up on his own. When she is old enough, he arranges for her education in St. Mary's High School's hostel. When she completes school, she returns home to find Tikku in the guise of a Hijra and shuns him, but subsequently relents. Then Tikku finds out that Tamanna is the daughter of up-and-coming politician Ranvir Chopra, and when he tells her, she goes to his palatial house. How will this impact the entire Chopra family? And what excuse do they produce for abandoning her?
