In the midst of this all, a Twitter user has exposed shocking horrors of real-life Heeramandi.??He says?Sanjay Leela Bhansali won't show you this.?

Twitter Thread Exposes Shocking Horrors Of Real Heeramandi

X

A Twitter user Shamindu Mukherjee who goes by the handle name?@Sham_Bharat took to Twitter to reveal how real Heeramandi was more about child sex trafficking and not women empowerment. "12 year old Suraiya was sold to a S@ud! prince for a night.Abducted girl Jamila (16) had no so-called beauty , her role was to produce a baby in every year HEERAMANDI was not the epitome of art and culture but a tale of blood and tears.THREAD ( SOME TRUE STORIES)," he wrote.?

Furthermore, sharing the horrors of real life place that exists in Lahore, Pakistan, he revealed, "heeramandi was not the epitome of culture art and sophistication but only a sex slave market.in his book heeramandi, French author claudine le d¡¯ison described the pain blood and tears of abducted minor girls.the book is based on real story of 1st half of 20th century."

He quoted excerpts from?Claudine Le Tourneur d'Ison 2006 book titled?Hira Mandi, in which she highlight a lot of issues including?drug problems, poverty and the lives of those who are born and work in the red light area of Lahore. It is said that she is one of those writers who not only made frequent visits to Pakistan but also watched some very sensitive prevailing issues from a close angle.

In his next tweet, the X user wrote, "every girl born in shahi mahalla in heeramandi was an asset to their guardians ..girls were trained to dancing and singing from their 3 year of ages.when a girl crossed her 10th years of age her virginity was sold in auction.the ring opening ceremony."

He added, "Sanjay Bhanshali will show you this.Laila¡¯s eleventh birthday. Cooks, musicians and tailors paraded up and down the house for days, flowers and garlands were placed on each floor by the cousins, and incense and perfumed oils were burned.she dressed up like Mughal princess."

X

"Bhanshali will not tell you this..Laila, told her story to dison. When liala, a was dancing in the floor her rate of her virginity was being fixed by her mother behind the carton..finally her virginity was sold to a elderly Nobel man.the badshah descendant."

X

Sharing more examples, he wrote, "Suraiya had just turned twelve when she had her ring ceremony. and was sold for one night to a prince from S@ud! Arabia who paid a colossal sum for the privilege of deflowering her. She had only a vague memory of that night, she had been."

X

He added, "Jamila was not born in shahi mahalla..she was abducted sold to Heeramandi. Jamila was not beautiful. she could not dance and she was not virgin .so, she had given a role. to produce a child every year. At 22 years of age, she was mother of 6 daughters and a son."

As he wrote this, some people argued Heeramandi did show the reality.?

In response, a Reddit user wrote, "I mean the show literally does include this. Mallika explicitly sells the 8-year-old Fareedan to the highest bidder, also is happy to sell Saima. Richa¡¯s character says that she was a little kid when her bua sold her to 'this hell'".

Another one added, "Why are we behaving like this is like a new unknown history. Even in the series, there is an undercurrent of abuse, exploitation, and women giving up on fate. Did the audience not understand what is happening when Manisha¡¯s character was shown selling young girls??And all the people holding their pearls reading this ¡­newsflash it is still happening in brothels and our city¡¯s so-called red light area."

A third user pointed out, "This was all shown on the show but okay."
