Ever since Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar has released on Netflix; it has been the talk of the town. Although the show received polarizing reviews, fans have been talking about the grandeur of the show, the visual beauty, the performances and more. Now, the show has earned the seal of approval from Amul India in a new creative.
Amul’s new creative
The creative was shared by Amul a few hours ago with the caption, “Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s period drama series impresses audiences…” It showed the female cast of the series- Sonakshi Sinha, Manisha Koirala, Richa Chadha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sharmin Segal and Sanjeeda Sheikh. All of these ladies are seen holding bread and butter with their fingers and enjoying it together.
Reacting to the creative, the official handle of Netflix commented, “Heeramandi dekhne main dairy mat karo,” which had its own pun on the word late and implied: ‘Do not wait to watch Heeramandi.’ Sonakshi and Manisha also shared the creative on their Instagram stories.
