Together, they personify grace on screen, each contributing to the irresistible odyssey of Heeramandi.

In February last year, the makers shared a teaser which showcased Manisha Koirala looking stunning in a royal getup, followed by similar smiling glimpses of the rest of the cast. It unveiled the royal, graceful looks of actresses Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chaddha, Sharmin Segal, and Sanjeeda Shaikh as their characters.

The historical drama series transports audiences to a time when courtesans reigned as monarchs. Through the stories of courtesans and their clients, set against the turbulent backdrop of the Indian Independence struggle in the 1940s, the series investigates the cultural reality of the namesake area of Heera Mandi.
