Urdu Pronunciation In Heeramandi Is So Bad That Even Actor Sheezan Khan Is Disappointed!
Urdu pronunciation in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi is receiving massive criticism. So much so that actor Sheezan Khan has slammed the Netflix web series.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's highly anticipated project Heeramandi has finally been released on Netflix and it has opened to mixed reviews. While some are impressed with the grandeur of Bhansali's sets and exquisite costumes, others have pointed out many faults in the show that didn't live up to their expectations.

Actor Sheezan Khan has also expressed his disappointment towards the show. The Khatron Ke Khiladi 13 contestant took to Instagram to write that nobody in the web series could speak Urdu properly except for Farida Jalal. Furthermore, the actor who was earlier accused of abetting co-star Tunisha Sharma's suicide, questioned Bhansali for doing "injustice" to the Urdu language.
"Apart from Farida Jalal ji! Nobody could speak "urdu" in SLB¡¯s Heeramandi! Kisi Ka Nuqta, kha, qaf apni jagah pe nahi hai!! Kyu bhai kyu?? Urdu ke saath itni naainsaafi. Disappointed (Nobody pronounced the words properly. Why bro? Why such injustice with the Urdu language)," he wrote.
Not just fans, even fans are unhappy with 'atrocious punjabi and urdu being spoken in heeramandi'
