Sharmin Segal shares her experience of working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali on Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar: "It's more like a deep dive into their feelings and thoughts"

One of the biggest of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s projects, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, marks a captivating new chapter in his ongoing exploration of female strength and resilience across his filmography. His series debut with Netflix promises to delve into the lives of courtesans during the pre-independence era, shedding light on a society often shrouded in misconceptions.

As Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar prepares to unveil its story, one thing remains certain: Sanjay Leela Bhansali will continue to champion women in his own distinct and powerful way, adding new layers to his legacy.  Whether it's Sonakshi Sinha's mysterious Fareedan, Richa Chadha's poignant portrayal of Lajjo, Sanjeeda Shaikh's yearning as Waheeda, Sharmin Segal's quest for love as Alamzeb, Aditi Rao Hydari's pursuit of freedom, or Manisha Koirala's radiant Mallikajaan in Heeramandi, Bhansali consistently pushes boundaries and challenges societal norms, solidifying his position as a master storyteller.

Sharmin Segal, discussing the way the auteur portrays women in the show, mentions, “Heeramandi is not just about showing the tough reality of Tawaifs. It's more like a deep dive into their feelings and thoughts. It's not just about the daily grind; it's more about what goes on inside their minds. This is what Sanjay Leela Bhansali's world is - all about understanding the emotions of these women uniquely.”

Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar brings a magnificent world promising to immerse audiences in a tale of power, love and freedom set against the backdrop of pre-independent India.
