What sets Alex apart from other young Indians is that he’s a drag performer.
His drag idol is RuPaul Charles and his inspiration is 2014 RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Bianca Del Rio. He began doing drag as “Mayamma” on September 10, 2014, and there was no going back. Mayamma dresses in traditional Indian garb. Her bindi, saree, winged eyeliner, and hair is very classic Bollywood.
"As a drag performer, I want to be a good motherly figure to people in society."
"I love to make parodies of English songs, but at the end of the day, I am an entertainer who aims to delivers a good message," Alex told BuzzFeed.
