"People used to respect the prostitutes of Heera Mandi, we were called artists," she says, but all has changed over the last decade. "A girl no longer needs a pimp to market her, she has Facebook, Twitter," she says. "Heera Mandi is no more... even if a girl is from Heera Mandi she would never reveal it because the client would never risk sexually transmitted diseases and the bad image associated," she added.Outside of the Diamond Market, she says, business is good. "Girls from the elite class come to me and beg for boys," she says. "They say they are ready to pay, but they need strong boys."
