Sonakshi Sinha discusses her character Fareedan's fluid nature and traumatic past in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar'.

Sonakshi Sinha discusses her role as Fareedan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar', revealing that her character's fluid nature was intentionally left open-ended. She explains that Fareedan's past traumas influenced her current character, which includes a same-sex foreplay scene, but the director did not explore Fareedan's sexuality further. Sonakshi believes that perhaps her character's aversion to men stems from being sold off as a child.
