On the same-sex foreplay sequence in Heeramandi, Sonakshi Sinha breaks her silence. “She despises men to the core.”

The daring same-sex foreplay sequence in actor Sonakshi Sinha’s most recent web series, Heeramandi, which was directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, is discussed.

For her role as Fareedan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi, Sonakshi Sinha is receiving incredible acclaim. She is especially praised for taking a risk in a same-sex foreplay sequence. The actor has since said in an interview that Fareedan’s sexuality was not purposefully pursued further.

Sonakshi also gave an explanation for Bhansali’s decision to forego delving deeply into Fareedan’s sexuality in an interview with News18.

The audacious deed

For those who don’t know, the scene in question included Fareedan and one of her servants engaged in foreplay, which suggested that they were having intercourse. The filmmaker chose not to pursue it.

Sonakshi explained why, saying, “She was sold off when she was a nine-year-old girl.” Perhaps this is the reason she despises males so much. That could be the case. It’s been left incredibly open. They just looked at the one scene where she is with her maid and meets Choudhary saab, a nawab.

She said, “It’s just a very big world, and sir has touched into different parts of it in little ways.”

Sonakshi’s comments about Heeramandi

The 36-year-old, who made her OTT debut with the series, is ecstatic at the kind reception she has received. But one comment in particular holds a special place in her heart, and star Rekha has expressed her appreciation for it. It had a mystical quality. It was years after I attended a showing like that. In my whole career, that was one of the largest premieres I’ve attended. That day, I made so many new friends. However, Rekha ma’am was really encouraging and helpful and went crazy about Heeramandi,” she remarked.

The veteran performer was “thrilled” with the programme, the actor goes on to say. She spoke to me in such exquisite detail that I was in complete amazement. The praise I was receiving from Rekha ji astounded me. I will never forget that one discussion we had. She refers to my mother as my “other mumma” all the time. We are very much in love with one other. Together, we had a lovely moment, she continued.

More concerning Heeramandi

Sanjay has shared tales of love and treachery from the life of courtesans in pre-independence India through Heeramandi. With the stories of courtesans and their clients set against the turbulent backdrop of the Indian freedom movement in the 1940s, the series delves into the cultural realities of Heeramandi, an area in Lahore.

Alongside Shekhar Suman, Fardeen Khan, Adhyayan Suman, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Sharmin Segal, and Taha Shah Badussha, there are more notable actors in it. On May 1, Netflix launched it.

Sonakshi Sinha recently broke her silence regarding the much-discussed same-sex foreplay sequence in Heeramandi. In a candid statement, she revealed that her character despises men to the core, which is why her portrayal emotionally charged. Sonakshi explained that the role required her to express a range of complex emotions, and the scene was an integral part of her character’s journey in the series.

While discussing the sequence, Sonakshi emphasized that her character’s disdain for men is rooted in the painful experiences she has endured, adding depth and complexity to her role. She admitted that filming such scenes wasn’t easy, but it was essential to showcase the character’s emotional turmoil and evolution throughout the story.

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

Raj Babbar left his wife, Nadira, to marry Smita Patil in 1983. His daughter Juhi Babbar has recalled the time in a new interview.
Actor Raj Babbar was already married and had two children when he began his relationship with fellow actor, Smita Patil. The affair and the ensuing marriage saw a lot of controversy, given how it began. Raj Babbar’s daughter, former actor Juhi Babbar, has now opened up on the time and how she came to know about the relationship when she was just 7 years old.

Juhi Babbar on Raj Babbar and Smita Patil

In an interview with Lehren Retro, Juhi recalled how Smita Patil made a conscious effort to connect with Raj’s two children – Juhi and her brother, Arya. “My father talked and explained his marriage with Smita Patil to me when I was barely seven years old, and that’s why my memories of Smita ji are very different. She went out of her way to do things for me. I think she also had this thing that we are the kids of the person who is most special to her, and so we are special to her as well. She would show us a lot of love, always bringing us gifts when she travelled, and she would ensure that at home, we were served the food that we liked. These small memories are nice, but unfortunately, there aren’t many memories,” she said.

Juhi said she was conflicted about her impression of Smita at the time because the actor was always nice to us, but she could see that the marriage had shaken up her own family, particularly her mother, Nadira. “As a child, I knew this is the lady my father wants to be with, and he wants to make her his wife. I could see Smita making an effort towards me and my little brother, but I also knew that this was disturbing the unit that used to be, and that my mother was unhappy about it. I had that understanding—that aunty (Smita) was being so good to me, but when I go home, I shouldn’t share this with my mother.”
