Preeti Mukherjee(also known as Puja Mukherjee) was an actress in the documentary "Born in brothel- calcutta red light kids" that won oscars in 2005 and 20 other international awards.Preety Mukherjee had even gone on stage with director Zana Brinski
4 years later she wakes up in the early hours of feb 23 rd to catch Oscars live telecast on TV and later resumes her daily work at "sonagachi" in calcutta.
She was born in a brothel and even after the oscars has gone back to flesh trade.
Her life has been nothing less than a Bollywood movie with the brothel backdrop.infact most fascinating than the movie too.
After Oscars Preeti along with other kids was offered to stay back in US and study. But as fate would have it she opted out and came back to india.
She gave in to "family pressure" and is indulged in flesh trade just like her mother and now owns a flat in 'Salt Lake'-one of the most expensive area in Calcutta.
One of these kids is preeti alias Puja Mukherjee
Zana Auntie (zana Brenski) is still in toush with e-mails and tried every means to take her out of this trade unsuccessfully.
Preeti is now a part of a powerful Sex-racket and the photograph of hers with the Oscar statuette is still hung at her mother's place- faint and pale.
Still diminishing day by day.
