Richa Chadha reveals promoting Heeramandi in her seventh month of pregnancy
Released on Netflix on May 1, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar brought critical acclaim to several actors, including Richa Chadha. Despite her short-lived role in the eight-part TV series, the actress successfully made an impact in the minds of the audience. She also joined the team in promoting the show and celebrating its success last month.
But did you know she was in her seventh month of pregnancy back then? In a recent Instagram post, the soon-to-be-mom spoke about the wonderful experience of meeting co-stars like Manisha Koirala, Sharmin Segal Mehta, Sanjeeda Sheikh, and others. However, she was delighted to meet filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, which, according to her, is a ‘sighting as rare as a tiger in Ranthambore.’
Dropping multiple unseen images with the stars, the Fukrey actress penned, “Exactly a month ago, we had a meet and greet with the media to celebrate the success of #heeramandionnetflix ! Was fun to meet all the co-stars, but the chief guest was, of course, the Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who was indeed a sighting as rare as a tiger in Ranthambore!”
Richa added, “There’s a special story about this day, for which I am grateful to my team, and I will make a reel about it tomorrow. Still can’t believe I was out promoting in full bloom when in the 7th month, haha!”

A whole lot of love to you Mr Bhansali, and a big hug, artist to auteur.”
Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal legally got married in 2020 and celebrated their matrimony in 2022.
