Heeramandi also stars Sonakshi Sinha and in a recent chat at FICCI Frames 2024, she spoke about her experience of working with Bhansali and said, “He has been very encouraging… We tried to work together but it didn’t work out, and we were always in touch. Every time I went to his office, we would chat over coffee.”

She added,“I was like sir, ‘Every time I come to your office, we have coffee and then I leave. I’m not having coffee with you, I will have tea.’ I had tea (and) we had the same sort of conversation and I went home. And then, I am in Heeramandi. So, tea is the answer guys, not coffee.”

Heeramandi marks Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s foray into digital space. The show is a eight-part series, which will stream on Netflix.
