Censor Board Orders 2 Cuts In 'Gangubai Kathiawadi', Scene Referring To Jawaharlal Nehru Modified

The book Mafia Queens of Mumbai mentions Gangubai Kathiawadi's interaction with former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.

It is said that when the brothel owner was delivering a speech during woman empowerment summit, she shed light on the need for prostitution belts in cities. Gangubai's speech made waves all over the nation, so much so that she got to meet Nehru. He was so impressed with her speech that he asked her why she chose this work when she could have found a nice husband.

In her response, Gangubai asked the PM if he would marry her, thus telling him that it is easier to preach, tough to practice.
