In these days of discord, disharmony, conflict and competition, finding affinity between two entities that are geographically far apart and no match to each other in socio-economic or cultural terms, is impossibility. But that is what this photo series did, and it went on to discover the impossible - A small slum area in the heart of the posh new city of Ahmedabad called HOLLYWOOD. The actual name of the area is Gulbhaitekra, but it has been popularly known as HOLLYWOOD for the last 4 decades for the reason that the women living here have a rustic beauty and glamour which is found to resemble that of Hollywood stars. Photographer KANNAGI KHANNA shares her images as she meets the enchanting women of Hollywood.

  • people who live here are really living in hell like conditions, especially in monsoon. they should take the opportunity offered to them by the authorities and relocate in a decent place..for sake of their children if not for anything else. the foolosh leaders of this population do not realize that they are raising their children in the dirtiest and most un-hygeinic area in the twenty-first century.instead of using bad language on the computer, just go and clean that dump and pursuade those idiots to move..

  • what a wastes of space. This area should be rennovated just like Vastrapur lake was done. proper relocation of residents (after all they have been living here for quite some time) and complete sanitation and cleanup. Any constructive views on how to go about this is welcome.
  • This place is called "Gulbai tekra". And the slum exist here since 17th century. The British had taken note of the existence of this slum. The same note you can also find in a book "Future Shock" was wrriten by the sociologist and futurologist Alvin Toffler in 1970. This place actually is one of the oldest model of slum and it has changed with the time.
