Post the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial, fans are eagerly waiting for the sequel. Now, Sanjeeda Shaikh has spilled beans on Heeramandi 2.

Heeramandi fame Sanjeeda Shaikh shared her excitement on much-awaited sequel and said in a conversation with News18 Showsha, “I’m sure that Heeramandi 2 will be bigger and better. I don’t know when we’ll start shooting. It’s unpredictable when it comes to sir (Sanjay Leela Bhansali). So, the call to return to that set is also unpredictable. But all I can say is that the actors are ready."

Reflecting on her journey after doing Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi , Sanjeeda continued, “I used to watch this show where some actors would come and say that they’ve been 'Bhansalified' and I used to wonder when my turn would come. When I go for my meetings now, the maker talks about how good a performer I am. And that’s a great feeling. I’ve always believed that my work should speak for itself and I’m glad that I don’t need to introduce people to my work anymore. People now know me for Heeramandi. I’ve of course done work on TV before but log puraani baatein bhool ke nayi baat yaad rakhte hai. I want to keep working hard rather than waiting for my phone to ring so that someone can give me work. I now know that they’ll call me for something concrete and that’s why I don’t say no to most of them. They know that I can bring something substantial to the table."

She added, "I’m in that phase of my life where I want my today to be better than yesterday and my tomorrow to be better than today. I want 2025 to be bigger and better. But what a year this has been! For an actor like me, it has been a blessing. As an actor, it’s creatively very satisfying to work with great actors and makers."
