The prototype of Gangubai Katiyawadi is himself, Gangubai.
Gangubai's original name was Ganga Harjivandas. He was born into a family of barristers and received a good education since childhood.
However, her innocence and romance were all burned away by her running away for love at the age of 16.
Love-minded, she dreams of becoming a star in Bollywood, runs away with her first love Ramnik, and prepares to go to Mumbai to start a new chapter in her life.
I don’t know where this man went wrong, but he was short-sighted and took Ganga to Madhipura, Mumbai, and sold her to Aunt Sheela, who ran a brothel, for 1,000 rupees.
Ganga refused to eat or drink and went on a hunger strike to resist.
Compared with the physical torture, the disillusionment with love, dreams, and even hope is even more painful.
She was dressed up like a delicate but soulless doll, and was taught how to attract customers by other prostitutes on the street.
Soon, she received her first customer, her first tip, and the name Gangubai.
The innocent Ganga died, and the goddess of vengeance Gangupai emerged from the ashes.
She cheered up and quickly adapted to her changes, saving money for herself and gaining prestige among the prostitutes through gold jewelry and vacations.
She has ambitions to buy the entire brothel and Aunt Sheela who enslaves them.
Turnarounds always come with crises.
Seeing Gangubai's prestige among prostitutes growing, Sheila wanted to suppress her momentum, but a psychopathic patron happened to appear in front of Gangubai.
She was sexually assaulted by the gangster man and beaten so badly that she needed 15 stitches and was paralyzed for several days.
Gangubai did not suffer the disadvantage of being mute. With scars all over her body, she went to the then mafia boss, the "King" of Mumbai, Karim Lala, who was also the employer of this gangster man, to seek justice.
Under her superb eloquence, Karim was moved to avenge her and teach the man a lesson.
A life-threatening battle made Gangubai the new lady of Mumbai.
