In an interview with News18, Sonakshi also explained why Bhansali chose to not go big on exploring Fareedan’s sexuality in detail.
For the unversed, the scene in question showed Fareedan engaging in a foreplay with one of her maids, which implied sexual interaction between them. The director didn’t explore it further.
Revealing the reason behind it, Sonakshi said, “She was sold off when she was a nine-year-old girl. Maybe that’s why she absolutely hates men. It could be that. They’ve left it very open. They didn’t explore it any further than that one scene where she meets Choudhary saab (a nawab) and is with her maid”.
“It’s just a very vast world and sir has tapped into different aspects of it in small ways,” she added.
