Aditi Rao Hydari Spills the Beans on Cozying Up to Fardeen Khan in ‘Heeramandi’ | ‘Heeramandi’ में फर्दीन खान संग रोमांस पर खुलासा करतीं अदिति राव हैदरी

Hey there, Bollywood Buffs! It’s your favorite snoop, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, back with another juicy scoop from the glitzy world of Hindi films and stars. Grab your popcorn, because this one’s a spicy tale straight from the sets of ‘Heeramandi’!

So, let’s talk about Aditi Rao Hydari and the spicy web series ‘Heeramandi.’ Released on May 1, 2024, this Sanjay Leela Bhansali creation made quite a splash on OTT platforms. The series, a deep dive into the lives of courtesans, featured a celebrity filled cast, including our very own Aditi.

Fast forward a few months post-release, and here comes an interview where Aditi spills the tea on her experience shooting an intimate scene with none other than Fardeen Khan. Yes, darlings, Fardeen made his OTT debut with ‘Heeramandi,’ and apparently, things got a tad bit awkward on set. 🫣

Aditi, in an interview with Instant Bollywood, confessed, "No, we hadn’t met before… and when we did on the set, the first scene was a mujra, and then it was straight into that… what do you call it… intimate scene or intimacy… He came towards me, and I felt a bit scared, even though I’ve done such scenes before."

She went on to add, "But it still felt a bit weird, but thanks to Sanjay Sir, he explained and made it easy. That’s what I liked, and only Sanjay Sir could do that." Hats off to Bhansali for making the actors comfortable, because let’s face it, intimate scenes can be nerve-wracking! 👏

The series saw Fardeen Khan stepping back into the limelight, and oh boy, was he appreciated! Some scenes between him and Aditi were, let’s say, a bit discomforting but hey, that’s what the script demanded.

For those living under a rock, ‘Heeramandi’ is Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s first web series, dropped on Netflix, and it was a mega-hit. The show not only featured Aditi and Fardeen but also boasted a galaxy of stars like Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin Segal Mehta, Richa Chadda, Taha Shah, Shekhar Suman, and Adhyayan Suman.

And here’s the kicker – at the ‘Heeramandi’ success party, Bhansali announced the second season! Oh yes, he’s already working on the script, and we might just get to see it in 2025. So, keep your eyes peeled, folks!

Nisha’s Nutshell: In the world of Bollywood, awkwardness is just another word for ‘acting.’ If you can fake it till you make it, you might just end up starring in a Bhansali production. Moral of the story? Never underestimate the power of a good director and a well-placed mujra. 🌟

Till next time, stay filmy! 🎬💃
