What Is The Real Story Behind Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Series Heeramandi?

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's much-anticipated series, "Heeramandi," explores Lahore's red light area, once a vibrant cultural center during the Mughal era. Originally a grain market, it witnessed a transformation into a hub of courtesan culture, only to decline during British rule, becoming a prostitution hub. The eight-episode saga pays tribute to courtesans, depicting a young heir's choice between love and succession, disrupting the status quo. Bhansali's opulent style shines through in this 14-year passion project, offering an epic tale of love, power, revenge, and freedom, set against the dual identity of Heeramandi as both a bustling market by day and a red light area by night.
