In a small village in Madhya Pradesh, a boy named Aarav was born with chubby cheeks and a pure heart. But from a young age, Aarav knew he was different. He didn't want to be a "son" - he wanted to wear his mother's sarees, express who he truly was. What began as innocent play turned into pain, punishment, and rejection. By the time he was 17, Aarav was thrown out by his own family, forced to beg on the streets, insulted by strangers, and forgotten by the people who once called him theirs. But fate had other plans. One reel - one glimpse of Thailand's trans community - lit a spark. With nothing but a bike, 3 lakhs saved from years of hardship, and a dream, Aarav rode for 88 hours across countries, chasing freedom. In Thailand, he found not only survival... But love. Nick, a famous BL actor, saw him not as an outcast - but as someone beautiful. He gave him a name. Pai. But can Pai ever leave the pain of the past behind? Will the world accept her truth - or will history repeat itself? A powerful story of identity, heartbreak, healing, and love - "From Aarav to Pai" is not just a BL story. It's a revolution of the soul.
