Former ‘Coronation Street’ star, Shobna Gulati comes out as “non-binary”

Shobna Gulati, the 58-year-old actress best known for her role as Sunita Alahan in ‘Coronation Street’, has come out as non-binary.

Speaking on Kaye Adams’ ‘How to be 60’ podcast, Gulati shared, “I’ve become more comfortable describing myself simply as a person. What do people call it now? Non-binary. So, I suppose that’s who I am.”

The actress now lists her preferred pronouns as she/they on social media.

Reflecting on her journey, she added, “I’ve never had a word for it, but I’ve learned from the younger generation what that might look like in terms of language—because I’ve always known what it feels like to be me. Throughout my life, I’ve struggled to find the words to explain it, and I suppose my immediate family never really thought about it either.”
