Sanjeeda Shaikh on shooting for Heeramandi

In an interview with India Today, Sanjeeda Shaikh talked about feeling like a dream while shooting for Heeramandi. She said, “Each day when I entered the sets of Heeramandi, it felt like a dream because you are looking everywhere, and you are enamored. Moreover, you have Bhansali sir in front of you.”

Talking about her interaction with other actresses like Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, and more she said that everyone was so engrossed in the shooting that we didn't interact much with each other. “Just looking at them and observing them, you learn something. The energy has been great. During the process of shooting, we did not interact with each other so much, because we were so engrossed, and we were so into the scene, and everyone wanted to give their best. But when we were just ending the show, we all became very close.” she explained.
