Karpaga is an actress who makes her debut in a Tamil movie called "Paal". She is the first transgender ever in India to perform a leading role in a mainstream movie.

Karpaga was born in a middle class family of Erode in western Tamil Nadu, an only child, and left home at 17 for Mumbai. Karpaga worked at a beauty parlour as a beautician after finishing schooling. After returning to her family, five years later, her family was shattered but eventually accepted her.

The film stresses on the need for families to accept transsexuals.
