The children featured in the documentary "Born into Brothels: Calcutta's Red Light Kids" had varied outcomes after the film. Some, like Avijit and Kochi, managed to continue their education successfully, with updates indicating that several children went on to attend high schools or universities in India and the United States or found employment outside of sex work. Puja Mukherjee, another child from the documentary, entered a school but was later withdrawn by her mother; she reportedly became part of an organization helping underprivileged children. However, not all stories ended positively; for instance, Preeti Mukherjee, who participated in the documentary and attended the Oscars, eventually returned to sex work despite efforts to help her escape that life. The filmmaker Zana Briski continued her work with these children through her non-profit Kids with Cameras, aiming to support education and skill development for children from the red light district.
