Kamathipura Locals Protest Against 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' Over Stigma

Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali has landed in a controversy after the residents of Kamathipura have objected to the alleged defamation of the place in 'Gangubai Kathiawadi'. Starring Alia Bhatt, the film depicts the story of a sex worker in Kamathipura's famous red light area. As per residents, the film is "extremely damaging" as it maligned the 200-year-old history of the place and wasted the locals' efforts to erase the stigma associated with it.
