This Bhansali production is an insult to Hindu Indian women of high birth who’ve been shown in this series as lowly prostitutes in brothels of Pakistan.
To depict Indian women belonging to high noble castes as objects of desire for men in #Heeramandi Pakistan seems tragic.

For reference, this chart describes Hindu caste (birth) hierarchy in terms of nobility & religious purity.
Brahmins are considered the noblest of them all, followed by Kashatriyas, then Vaishyas, then Shudras, followed by Advasis & Dalits who are considered untouchables:

1-Manisha Koirala: Belongs to the Hill Brahmin caste, her Koirala family is considered royalty in northern India known to be of highest character & moral values, occupying high political, religious & govt offices.
Why depict her as an object of lust for Lahori Pakistani men?

After Gangubai Kathiawadi, yet another project to promote prostitution
Now that films are no more commercially viable on box office, this seems launch of new dhandha
#HeeraMandi - yet another #BollywoodKiGandagi from person whose every single film pushed a dubious agenda.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's filmography:
1. Gangubai Kathiawadi glamorized prostitution and glorified underworld don Karim Lala as noble person
2. Ramleela - cheap film mocking Bhagwan Ram and Krishna. Title had to be changed
3. Devdas - pushed Islamic agenda in a non Islamic story

4. Bajirao Mastani - made Peshwa sing Aayat! Twisted history

Debutante Shyraa Roy who is a Dubai based Pakistani singer shares the ordeal that her formative years were after she was allegedly sold in heera mandi, according to her own claims. She says she was subjected to unimaginable hardships that she is narrating in her own words:
“It is said that when a woman is born, an entire generation is born with her; but unfortunately in Pakistan not everyone thinks this way. Their thinking is still outdated and conservative. I was born in a poverty ridden family in Lahore. I was my parents’ first child.
