Sanjeeda Shaikh said, “Building a dream adds beauty to our lives, I had built a dream and today it has turned into reality. I’m sure everyone who comes to this city of dreams, at least once in their life wishes to work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, now when I am sharing the platform as one of his leading ladies, it’s a big deal for me. I’m just honoured to be a part of Heeramandi. This is an incredible platform for me, the entire team of the show is extremely special and I’m sure Heeramandi is the life of everyone involved in the project.”

 

Earlier last month, the makers of Heeramandi launched the first look teaser of the show offering a glimpse into the grandeur and beauty of the epic period drama, piquing the excitement and curiosity for the show. Recently at the slate launch event for Netflix, new character posters from the show were launched digging further into the world of the Heeramandi, in which Sanjeeda featured with a face scar. The scar, which seems to be an integral part of her character, is expected to have a painful backstory, details of which are kept under wraps.

 

Set against the backdrop of pre-Independence India, Heeramandi is expected to trace the  journey of a few courtesans and their fight for freedom, power, and love.
