10 Heeramandi dialogues that are as iconic as the Sanjay Leela Bhansali series

2. “Ek baar dekh lijiye, deewana bana dijiye.”

The collection of renowned lines from Heeramandi would not feel whole without including Alamzeb’s memorable phrase, “Give it a try once, make him fall in love.” Whether you adore or disdain it, this dialogue leaves an indelible mark on your memory. Moreover, the television show includes an entire song centered around Sharmin Segal Mehta’s character and this iconic dialogue.

3. “Nawab Zorawar Khan jab joota bhi maarta hai toh sone ka maarta hai Mallikajaan.”

Sanjay Leela Bhansali successfully assembled an impressive cast for his first OTT production. Notable among them is Adhyayan Suman, who portrays the character of the proud nawab, Zoravar Ali Khan.

In the end, he shatters Lajjo’s heart by asking her to dance at his wedding with another woman, intending to embarrass her. However, like a loving and concerned mother and father, Mallikajaan unexpectedly appears at the ceremony to declare his true identity as her son to everyone present.

4. “Puraani diwaren paar nahi ki jaati, gira di jaati hain.”

Heeramandi is undeniably among Sonakshi Sinha’s finest acting roles to date. In this film, she portrayed the dual characters of Mallikajaan’s sister and later emerged as her sister’s daughter, named Fareedan.

After the chief courtesan avenges her mother’s death by selling her to a man, she comes back to claim vengeance and seize control of Shahi Mahal, ultimately dethroning Mallikajaan. This is one of Heeramandi’s most memorable lines.

5. “Sharafat humne choodh di, mohabbat ne hume chhodh diya, ab sirf bagawat humari zindagi ko mayne de sakti hai. Ek baar mujre wali nahi mulk wali sochkar dekhiye.”

Aditi Rao Hydari’s distinctive walk gained widespread popularity, with many people posting the video online multiple times. At the same time, her portrayal of Bibbojan left a strong impression on viewers. While Wali, Mallikajaan’s elder daughter, was deeply devoted to him, her commitment to her country went even further. As a result, she became an influential rebel figure in India’s freedom movement.

6. “Humein ghar ghar mein mashhoor hone ki koi jarurat nahi. Hum chand hai jo dikhta toh hai khidki se magar kabhi kisi ke baramde me utarta nahi hai.”

In the TV series “Heeramandi,” Manisha Koirala’s character, Mallikajaan, takes center stage. She is deeply satisfied with how she has raised her daughters to become renowned and sought-after courtesans in their area.

As an obsessed fan, I’d put it this way: Every time an Englishman proposes recording Bibbojaan’s voice to make her a renowned figure, she gracefully declines with a smile. She believes that fame isn’t necessary for them, and instead, compares herself to the enchanting and elusive moon that graces our night sky.

7. “Mohabbat aur baghawat ke beech koi lakeer nahi hoti. Ishq aur inqalab ke beech koi farak nahi hota.”

Alamzeb, Mallikajaan’s youngest daughter, portrayed by Sharmin Segal Mehta, contrasts her older sisters in their desires. Instead of following the family tradition and becoming a courtesan, she aspires to be a poetess. When she develops feelings for the learned advocate Nawab Tajdar Baloch (played by Taha Shah Badusha), she attempts to persuade her mother with kindness rather than conflict.

8. “Saza hum jizm ko nhi, rooh ko denge. Aur isme aapki rooh hai.”

There’s no one quite like the wicked woman Mallikajaan. Drawing inspiration from her experiences, she strives to shield her daughters from romantic entanglements and molds them into pragmatic and emotionless individuals. However, Alamzeb remains unfazed by her warnings and is determined to forge his own path as a writer, captivated by the power of words.

After discovering her daughter’s poems, her mother takes the book and sets it on fire to teach her a lesson.

9. “Log ladh kar azaad hote hai, aur tawaif mar kar.”

Richa Chadha’s character, Lajjo, deeply loved Zoravar Ali Khan but was devastated when he left her for another woman. Heartbroken, Lajjo met an untimely end. Upon hearing the news of her death, the chief courtesan requested everyone to commemorate her passing as a sign of her liberation and expressed hope that she would not be reborn as a courtesan once more.

10. “Khuda ke samney to pehley he qabool ker chuke hen, qazi ke Samne bhi ker len gey.”

Upon coming home, Tajdar discovers an unexpected affection for Alamzeb, oblivious to the fact that she is the offspring of a renowned courtesan with plans to mold her in her own image. However, once he learns that Alamzeb is unlike her mother, he remains steadfast and vows to marry her regardless of any challenges.
