A large number of people have praised Shivam while some have also criticized him.
Shivam said, ‘When I was editing my reel, I saw the reaction of people on my ramp walk in the local train and it was shocking. Some people were left open mouthed, but there was also one guy who came up to me and asked if I was an artist and that made me happy that there are people who understand.’
Shivam belongs to the LGBTQ community. He himself is gay and supports gender neutrality. Shivam is originally from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. They say that makeup and clothing like skirts should not be limited to any gender.
Shivam says, ‘Men can also wear skirts. People are shocked and do not want to believe because this has not been seen in Indian society so far. That’s why people don’t want to believe that a boy is wearing a skirt. However, I believe that times are changing.
He adds, ‘When women can wear pantsuits, men can also wear skirts. It will not affect his manhood. If you are a man, you will remain a man even if you wear a skirt.

left home at the age of 19
Shivam says that he always wanted to do something in the fashion industry. But his parents did not accept him. He was 19 when he was asked to leave home.
