MUMBAI: Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar is indeed the biggest show out of India. From the first look to the star cast, everything about the Netflix series has been nothing but grand and mesmerising. Actress Sonakshi Sinha who portrays the role of Fareedan in the show captivated the hearts of audiences with her role.
Sonakshi, who shared screenspace with Manisha Koirala for the first time however, was apologetic to the actress. She explained, “I love her. I apologised to her after I saw the entire series! I was like, how have I done this? Meri ye majaal kaha se aayi ! She is amazing and that is the beauty of having such a fine actor in front of you because they give you the boost to do better. This is Manisha Koirala, who we have grown up watching, who has an amazing body of work. I thought I am in front of her, so I better do something good. It is such a pleasure to have that banter with each other, you are fully into it. I enjoyed working with Manisha mam.”
Speaking of working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Sonakshi revealed, “I didn’t really try (to be in his good books). He is an artiste himself so I knew the only thing that will ever impress him is good work or if I do my work well. That is exactly what happened. He was not supposed to shoot too many scenes of mine, but then he shot one and kept coming back. We made a beautiful rapport on set where I didn’t have to try too hard and I knew that if I put that pressure on myself, I am going to mess it up. I completely surrendered and gave it my best shot. He saw and appreciated that.”
Heeramandi also stars Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin Segal, Taha Shah Badussha, Shekhar Suman, and Adhyayan Suman among others.
