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.

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.
