Alia Bhatt's flick Gangubai Kathiawadi is a hot topic of conversation. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film has been in the works for a while, and now the teaser has been unveiled. Only after the film's release will we know how Gangubai's life is depicted in the film.
Before that, let us tell you about Gangubai's true story, based on which this film is based. Gangubai lived in the gujarat town of Kathiawar.
Harjivandas Kathiawadi was her true name. Harjeevan was born into a wealthy family in Kathiawar, Gujarat. She was rumoured to have fantasised about being a heroine. She fell in love with her father's accountant at the age of 16, and relocated to mumbai as a result.
Her heart was immersed in the world of thoughts, and her age was innocent. Harjeevan, the accountant, fell in love with his after they married, but her cheating husband sold her at Kamathipura's for merely Rs 500.
The harrowing journey of Harjivandas' transformation into Gangubai Kathiawadi began here. In his book 'Mafia Queens of mumbai,' Hussain Jedi tells the story of Gangubai.
According to Gangubai's book, she was raped by a member of mafia don Karim Lala's crew. After that, Gangubai went after Karim Lala for retribution. She even made Karim her brother by tying a rakhi on her wrist.
Gangubai, who had been a victim of her husband's deception as well as the suffering of society, went on to become one of Mumbai's most powerful female dons.
