Gangubai Kathiwadi was born in a renowned family of Kathiawad Gujarat. At 16 years old she fell in love with Ramnik Lal, who was an accountant of her father.
She ran away with him from Kathiawad and came to Mumbai to settle down and start a new life together.
But later Ramnik deceived her and sold to a brothel Rs. 500. This betrayal destroyed Ganga but her new life as Gangubai started. She became a prostitute and started living in the red-light area of Mumbai.
In one of the incidents, Gangubai went to one of the biggest Mafia Don Karim Lala to seek justice. She was r*ped by one of the members of Karim’s gang and she took the plea of justice to him.

After her alliance with Karim Lala, Gangubai ruled Kamathipura but never used her power to exploit young girls and women or forcefully led them into prostitution.
Even After all the hardships, she faced in her life, she was determined to work for the betterment of all the other s*x workers. She was a kind of a god woman for the s*x workers and orphans.
Even though she ran a brothel she never forced anyone or asked them to work without their consent. For her, all women and children who were living in the Kamathipura were her children. She cared for them like a mother.
Gangubai even fought to stop the movement of removing the prostitute market from Mumbai, and till today people of Kamathipura remember her for all the work she did for them.
A big statue is installed in the area in her remembrance. In Kamathipura, pictures of Gangubai still grace the wall of the brothels.
Her immense power always looked upon the betterment of s*x workers and orphan kids. She always stood up for the rights of women who were sold into the work prostitution.
