Sonakshi Sinha talks about her same sex scene in the series; reveals what SLB instructed her to do
Sonakshi Sinha outshined in Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazar as Fareedan. Everyone is raving about Ms Sinha’s powerful act in the series, and one of the scenes that became the talking point is the same-sex foreplay scene of the actress where she is seen getting indulged with one of her maids. And amid all the rave reviews, Sonakshi Sinha talks about that particular scene and what she feels about it and what exactly was she instructed to do,” Initially, sir (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) had told me that Fareedan is very fluid. At that point of time, a lot of it did happen. And in a place like Heeramandi, people were very open about it. Even Ustadji is very openly a gay man. Sir wanted to explore it in different ways. What Fareedan has been through in her life also has impacted her in a way”.

Sonakshi Sinha shares her point of view on why her character Fareedan was attracted in the same sex people
Sonakshi further tells News 18,” She was sold off when she was a nine-year-old girl. Maybe that’s why she absolutely hates men. It could be that. They’ve left it very open. They didn’t explore it any further than that one scene where she meets Choudhary saab (a nawab) and is with her maid. It’s just a very vast world and sir has tapped into different aspects of it in small ways.”
Sonakshi Sinha even recalled how veteran diva Rekha was blown away by seeing her performance in the series and mentioned how she hadn’t seen something like this in years and it was magical. “She told me such beautiful things that I was just awe-struck. I couldn’t believe my ears that Rekha ji was praising me. I’ll always remember that one conversation with her. She always tells my mum that she’s my ‘other mumma’. There’s a lot of love between us. We had a beautiful moment together”.
