Nazreen is only twenty years old but has been through some really traumatic life-experiences. Initially, they lived in Bhopal and had an ordinary life. However, her father was into gambling. First, he had a lot of debt and later he lost his house too, to gambling. He became very abusive and often threatened to beat them all. To try and break out of these negative patterns, they decided to come to Dargah Shareef in Ajmer. They all liked it in Ajmer and so decided to settle down there. In this new situation, Nazreen's sister started working as a sex-worker in order to support the family. She then met a nice boy who married her; however, she continued working as a prostitute. After a few years, she started to be ill all the time, and the many treatments she underwent did not cure her. In order to support the family and also to pay for her sister's treatment, Nazreen herself began to work as a sex worker. Recently, they found out that her sister had AIDS and following the discovery of this new tragedy, she died within months. Now, Nazreen also has the responsibility for her sister's two children and so continues her involuntary vocation as a sex worker. Having enrolled in Vatsalya's skill-building program, she says she is hopeful about changing her life. However, she frequently also feels quite depressed due to the overall scenario in her family.
