The 36-year-old actor, known for his role as Nawab Tajdar Baloch, expressed his profound honour at being chosen for this prestigious role.

With hits like "Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar," "The Great Indian Kapil Show," and "Amar Singh Chamkila," India became Netflix's third-highest country in terms of revenue growth in the second quarter.

"It was an honour to be invited to 10 Downing Street to celebrate United Kingdom - Nepal relations and 100 years of our friendship treaty. It was such a pleasure to hear Prime Minister @rishisunakmp speak fondly of our country Nepal."

Chadha said she was initially worried her role as the lovelorn courtesan, who features in only the first two of the eight-episode series, would get lost. But she has always believed in "quality over quantity" and that didn’t bother her.

Sinha says she decided to change her career trajectory almost a decade ago to focus on roles that challenged her and that's what has led her to projects like "Dahaad" and now "Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar".

Drawing inspiration from a myriad of sources, including museum visits, old book covers, and the distinctive personal styles of legends like Noor Jehan, Shamshad Begum, and Meena Kumari, Rimple and Harpreet set out on a quest to condense the essence of pre-Independence India.

Streaming service Netflix shared the first look of actor Fardeen Khan from "Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar" on Saturday, unveiling the upcoming period drama series that marks filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali's debut on OTT platforms.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali, known for lavishly mounted feature films such as Ram-Leela, Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat, is set to make his long-format debut with Netflix’s Heermandi.
