From the moment the very first trailer for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Heeramandi” on Netflix arrived, it’s become increasingly difficult to ignore that a certain type of Indian actress has passed into extinction.
Since the dawn of Indian cinema, music and dance have been integral to the movie-going experience, with extra emphasis placed on the “heroine” — a leading lady who could not only carry a whole film as an actor, but also captivate the audience as a graceful, expressive dancer. Think of Hollywood corollaries like Judy Garland, Ginger Rogers, Doris Day — but if they were working well into the late 20th and even 21st century. It’s inherently wrapped up in India’s history of folk dance, which is always present at festivals or celebrations; and classical dance, which requires extensive training and was often a precursor to entering beauty pageants and the film industry.

Actress Richa Chadha, who is garnering praise for her work in auteur Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Ott debut ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’, shared that she was offered a different role in the show but she chose the character of Lajjo.
The actress shared that despite being offered a role with more screen time, she decided to portray Lajjo owing to her heartbreaking arc in the show.
Richa felt that the resemblance of her character in the show to Meena Kumari from ‘Pakeezah’ and a female version of Devdas would definitely leave an impact.
Reflecting on her decision, Richa said: “When I was approached for ‘Heeramandi’, at the time Sanjay was the showrunner, and I had been offered another part, the one with more screen time for sure. But because an actor also needs to see what’s in here that’s new for me, I chose Lajjo.”

In the pre-independence era of 1920, Lahore was under the full sway of British rule. And there we get introduced to Heeramandi, in the heart of this city, where the art of the “tawaifs,” or courtesans, reigned supreme. Their mesmerizing dances with ghungroos and their skill in the art of seduction captured the attention not only of the British government but also of the nawabs, who treated them like queens. But, despite their beauty and appeal, falling in love was forbidden for them. After all, they were objects of desire, bought with jewels and diamonds by nawabs, who gave them the illusion of owning their hearts. But if a tawaif fell in love, these nawabs would flee, leaving behind their shattered hopes and illegitimate children without giving any acknowledgment of their identity. One such mistake was made by Lajjo, a courtesan of Heeramandi, who dared to love Nawab Zorawar Sahab. But as history repeats,...

After learning about Late Sarabjit Singh’s killer gunned down in Pakistan, actor Randeep Hooda, who played his role in the 2016 biographical drama ‘Sarbjit’ said that karma does catch up even if through unknown men.
In what’s being considered an incident of targeted killing, unidentified gunmen on Sunday killed Amir Tanba, a key figure behind the killing of Sarabjit Singh in Lahore’s Kot Lakhpat Jail in 2013.
Amir Tanba was outside his residence at Islampura in Lahore when two unidentified motorcycle-borne gunmen opened fire, injuring him critically.
