AMIR OR, AMINA

Amir was a star in the film industry of a far away country which was very male centric and where females were considered inferior. Salman was a rival and didn’t like that Amir always got attention with his character roles and method acting while he only got to do stupid movies. He made a plan. He will use Amir’s dedication against him. With his influence a director offered Amir the role of a woman. The woman will go through many hardships and be a prostitute. Amir was taken aback but he liked challenges. He accepted without carefully reading the contract and also became the lead producer. He didn’t know his life was going to change drastically.


Amir was famous for serious preparation for role. For his last movie he had done lot of body building to look very strong and muscular. So he had lot of work to do. He had three wives. He asked them for help. The wives had always been very submissive and respectful. Now they were being asked by their macho husband to train him to act like a woman. They didn’t know what to do. From childhood they were told about the superiority of males. They couldn’t understand their husband changing his body to be more like theirs. How can someone want to be weak? They believed god had punished them by making females and would have given anything to be a man.

With his wives help Amir started losing his muscle. He was on a strict diet and did feminine exercises for toning and flexibility that his wives taught him. One wife still didn’t like this. But the other two had seen that their husband was beyond repair. They accepted that they were now free women with no male authority in their lives. They loved the freedom but they longed for a dominant man who would put them in their place and tell them what to do. They didn’t like making decisions.

Amir was not happy with the changes. The shooting was nearing and he didn’t have curves yet. He started to do more emasculating things to be psychologically girly. He waxed his whole body, thinned his eyebrows and started wearing women’s clothes all the time.
