Rustom Padilla

Who is Rustom Padilla?

BB Gandanghari is a Filipina transsexual actress and commercial model. She is the elder sister to actor Robin Padilla and younger sister to Royette and Rommel Padilla, both actors.

In January 2009, after returning from the United States, Gandanghari came out as a transsexual and changed her name from Rustom Carino Padilla to BB Gandanghari, saying that the Rustom Padilla which the people used to know is already dead.

In an interview, Gandanghari stated the name is derived from the word Bb. Gandanghari, translated in English to Miss Beautiful King, and it's also a reference of her personal motto of "Be all that you can be".
