Pushpa

Pushpa is a homeless, starving, woman who lives at Happiness House with her 2 children, 8-year old, Harrish and 1-year old, Jeena. She apparently owes Mumtaz money.

Pushpa works as a prostitute. During the day, she sends Harrish to school, and takes care of Jeena at home at the brothel. At night, when she must work, she sends Harrish up to the roof with some other children, to fly kites until she is finished being with men. She gives Jeena some medicine to make her sleep for hours, and puts her under the bed until she is done.

Pushpa doesn't eat enough, and when she tried to breastfeed Jeena, the milk in her breasts had dried up. She apparently became pregnant with her children from different customers.

When Pushpa catches an STD and cannot be with men anymore, Mumtaz is furious, and Pushpa begs her not to throw her out. Mumtaz tells her all will be forgotten, if she sells Jeena to her, as a child prostitute. Pushpa refuses and her and her children are thrown out.
