Heeramandi season 2 announced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Netflix in grand fashion, viewers want Sharmin Segal replaced

Starring Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Richa Chadha, and Sharmin Segal, the first season of the pre-Partition-set show revolved around courtesans who wielded a lot of power and influence during India's freedom struggle.

Bhansali, who made his series debut with "Heeramandi", expressed gratitude for the show's success.

"I'm blessed by the love and appreciation for 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar'. It's been a joy to see the show resonate with audiences worldwide, and I couldn't have asked for a better partner than Netflix. I'm happy to announce that we'll be back with season 2," the filmmaker said in a statement.

"Sanjay Leela Bhansali has intricately woven magic to bring 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar' to life. Watching audiences everywhere fall in love with this series — making it truly their own as a cultural phenomenon — has been hugely energizing and it thrills me to share that we will be back with Season 2," added Monika Shergill, Vice-President Content, Netflix India.
