Yameesha's Backstory
10:00 PM IST, Monday, January 13, 1986
Somewhere inside Rashtrapati Bhavan
New Delhi, India

The secretive and mysterious Yameesha Nadine Alejo made history as one of the youngest First Ladies in the history of the Republic of India at the age of 25 when her husband, Winston Gutierrez was inaugurated as the 9th President of India inside the Central Hall of Parliament House on the morning of 13 January 1986 succeeding the outgoing President General Arun Shridhar Vaidya, who was leaving office. Following the inauguration festivities and inaugural ball parties, the First Couple were driven back to Rashtrapati Bhavan (Residence of the Indian President), where they will be residing in the grand presidential palace.
Many historians and anthropologists alike have extensively studied her life in an effort of understanding the origins and impetus of Yameesha's Myth of Destiny as some supporters liked to call it; many of these detailed theories were quite plentiful diverse. One common thread of agreement uniting all of the different studies and analysis is the observation almost any particular discourse Yameesha Alejo includes her aggressive sexual appetite with lesbians (considering she was an open lesbian behind closed doors); sexual and female characteristics of her power as a Presidential Spouse, both within India and internationally.
Born out of wedlock to a young middle-class woman named Dahlila Vats and her lover, the Brazilian diplomat Leonardo Serrano, who raised an upper-class family with his wife in addition to the seven children he fathered with Vats. Yameesha's light-skinned features (she was multiracial of Indian and Brazilian descent) made it into a defining feature of her identity, profoundly shaping the way in which she was well-received by her community and thus the way in which she perceived herself. Eager to leave the quiet outskirts of Thoothkudi, Tamil Nadu, Yameesha saw an opportunity to begin a professional acting career of her own by boarding a train from Thoothkudi to New Delhi.
Detractors of course, strongly disputed how Yameesha pursued an acting career as an actress, instead prostituting herself to anyone who worked in the filming industry. One of the detractors, Navy Admiral Elpidio Tulzeme (who was one of the staunchest opponents of the Gutierrez administration), accused Yameesha of "changing her allegiance so easily as she slid from one costume to the next," while one of the biographers studying her life implied that Yameesha became an "aggressive loose woman, who sleeps around for radio or film parts, taking gifts and manipulating or blackmailing her admirers."
However it happened, some recognized that Yameesha wasn't without female company either, and these women were often in positions to helping her career in the filming industry. Closer look at historical evidence suggested that more likely Yameesha used her attractiveness and sexuality in helping her climbing the ladder of success to an even greater extent than any aspiring actress of that era might've done years earlier.
While her secret lesbian sexual lifestyle was blatantly open behind closed doors, Yameesha's notorious secret reputation was fairly more aggressively proactive by the time she met then-Indian Ambassador to Brazil, Air Force Lieutenant General Winston Gutierrez during a diplomatic courtesy call meeting in 1981. Many critics accused Yameesha of scheming to marry Winston as to appropriate his growing political influence and power (especially when Gutierrez ultimately became Vice President of India in the Fall of 1985, when Yameesha the Second Lady). It's very indisputable that Winston and Yameesha's relationship resembled political partnership just as much as it did their marriage, when they got married in 1984.
The astute observations: Gutierrez "was as necessary to her as she was to him; she couldn't get anywhere in the macho-dominated culture without the protection of a man." Meanwhile, Yameesha was instrumental in earning Gutierrez the adoration of the masses through her charisma and compelling ideology. Interestingly, Muddaraj asserted that having "so beautiful and vivacious a young woman utterly devoted, at least outwardly, to himself and his political career" was "flattering to Gutierrez's virility". This was evident when supporters began congregating outside the Summer Presidential Retreat and chanting their support of the First Couple. Lodhia abruptly concluded that their relationship was founded on shared mutual interest for power, not passion for one another: Winston lived his life while Yameesha lived her own life and they slept in separate bedrooms in the private quarters of the presidential palace during the time they lived there; they even split their time between Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi; Rashtrapati Nilayam in Hyderabad, Telangana and the Retreat Building in Chharabra, Shimla.
