As per the news, DinaMalar was able to contact her and has published an article saying that it's the confession report given by Bhuvaneswari herself.

In ancient India, there is a practice of having Nagarvadhus, "brides of the town". Famous examples include Ambapali, state courtesan and Buddhist disciple, described in Vaishali Ki Nagarvadhu by Acharya Chatursen and Vasantasena, a character in the classic Sanskrit story of Mricchakatika, written in 2nd century BC by Sudraka. The Devadasis, who performed in temples, were described as "temple prostitutes". Kanhopatra is venerated as a saint in the Varkari sect of Hinduism, despite spending most of her life as a courtesan. Binodini Dasi started her career as a courtesan, later to become a Bengali theatre actress.

During the British East India Company's rule in India in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, it was initially fairly common for British soldiers to frequently visit local Indian nautch dancers. Likewise, Indian lascar seamen taken to the United Kingdom also frequently visited the local British prostitutes there.^[7][8] In the 19th and early 20th centuries, thousands of women and girls from continental Europe and Japan were also trafficked into British India, where they worked as prostitutes servicing both British soldiers and local Indian men.^[9][10][11]
