Just watched Heeramandi. Found everything but heermandi in it.

I mean either you don’t set your story in 1940’s Lahore, or if you do- you don’t set it in Agra’s landscape, Delhi’s Urdu, Lakhnavi dresses and 1840’s vibe. My not-so-sorry Lahori self can’t really let it go.

Interesting discussion about how #Bollywood has perpetuated #stereotypes . I am tempted to revisit the piece I wrote for Hindustan Times in 2017.

Unsolicited advice for #SLB -you can do better. Don't listen to chamchas/juniors wah-wah ing after every scene. #AditiRaoHydari & ors-your excitement at bagging an SLB film&looking pretty is obvious.Wish you had expanded your stock of expressions. Pouting&frowning is NOT acting.

Hollywood. Bollywood.
