As with the geisha of Japan, courtesan were trained in music and dance and courted by the nobility. At the show’s center are Mallikajaan, the scheming queen of Heeramandi, and her vindictive niece Fareedan, who has ambitions to take her aunt’s place.
What will be the plot of season 2?
In ‘Heeramandi’ sequel, the women would come from Lahore to the film world. They leave Lahore after the partition and most of them settle in the Mumbai film industry or Kolkata film industry. So that journey in the bazaar remains the same. They still have to dance and sing, but this time for the producers and not for the nawabs. The official release date of season 2 has not been announced yet.
