For all the fans of Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, we have an exciting update. The Sanjay Leela Bhansali project is set to return for a Season 2. Yes, you read that right. How do we know? Sonakshi Sinha, who played the role of Fareedan in the Netflix show, announced the news by sharing a video on Instagram. The text attached to the video read, “Mehfil phir se jamegi, Heeramandi: Season 2 jo aayega. [The gathering will happen again, Heeramandi: Season 2 is coming.] Thanks for this AMAZING birthday gift Sanjay Leela Bhansali Netflix India.” FYI: Sonakshi celebrated her 37th birthday on Sunday, June 2.
In the clip, a group of women can be seen dancing to Heeramandi's tracks Sakal Ban, Chaudhavi Shab, Saiyaan Hatto Jaao, and Tilasmi Bahein. A sea of people are recording the performance. Soon after, a drone shot reveals the woman standing in a formation spelling out "S 2." The background audio says, “15 August 1947 ko aazaadi ki jung khatam ho gayi. In tawaifon ki ek aur jung shuru hui. Ek nayi duniya me sar utha ke jeeney ki jung. [On August 15, 1947, the fight for independence ended. For these courtesans, another battle began—the struggle to live with dignity in a new world.]” In the end, the text flashes on screen: “Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar will return for season 2.” Reacting to the post, writer Tahira Kashyap shared a red heart emoji.
