How did they contribute though. I've not seen the full series yet loving it so far.

@@Arcturianx248 I'm not exactly sure about the historic authenticity of contribution of Heeramandi's Tawaifs, but Tawaifs elsewhere have contributed to freedom struggle quite immensely. They participated in Swadeshi, Dandi March and formed "Tawaif Sabha" in Varanasi to assist Independence Movement. Azeezun Baai of Kanpur had sacrificed her life in the freedom struggle. Apart from her other Tawaifs like Vidhyadhari Baai, Husna Baai, Nasreen Baai, Hussaini Khanum (in Bibighar Massacre), Gauhar Jaan, Begum Hazrat Mahal, Begum Samru, Begum Akhtar, Dharmman Bibi etc were the Tawaifs who contributed in various activities associated with Independence Movement!

It was the worst part about the show

@@virferind7946 so it is inspired by such tories then

@@Arcturianx248 Brother, as per Time & DNA India, the story of Bibbojaan in Heeramandi is inspired by Azeezun Baai of Kanpur & Gauhar Jaan of Kolkata! It looks like they've taken inspiration from the general literature & orature of Tawaifs of north India and then compiled them under one common banner of "Heeramandi"! It would have been much more appropriate & accurate if this was shown in relation Lucknow instead of Lahore! Since Lucknow was the epitome of Tawaif culture, native Urdu language & was in the vicinity of most of the Tawaif freedom fighter linked activities!

Story?? Series had everything but story bruh

Haveli is jst one building. It's not the whole Shahi mohalla

Yeah sure. These were amongst the most fascinating women of our country. They were prominent in almost all the major Indian cities in north, central & central-south (Deccan) region of the country! Their identity has multiple roles- Entertainers (primarily), Poetess, Singer, Dancer, Musician, Advisor, Fashionist, Feminist, Partner & Mistress. Children from elite families used to learn manners & adab from them! They engaged in sçxual relations with their patrons & visitors if they prefer! They played an important role in preservation & evolution of Kathak & Hindustani Classical Music and assisted in our freedom struggle! They're akin to Geishas of Japan. They've been an important part of India's Culture & History. They were not exclusively Muslims. A lot of Hindu Tawaifs were also there like Vidhyadhari Baai. There even was a "Tawaif Sabha" in Varanasi to support independence movement. Most notable are Umrao Jaan of Lucknow, Mah Laqa Baai of Hyderabad, Azeezun Baai of Kanpur, Gauhar Jaan of Kolkata etc. There are many great movies on them Pakeezah (Meena Kumari), Umrao Jaan (Rekha & Aishwarya Rai), Tawaif (Rati Agnihotri), Ghunghroo (Smita Patil), Sadhana (Vyjayanthimala) etc. Tawaif System declined due to British oppression & loss of patronage and many of these great artists had to resort to direct prostitution. That's how courtesans became prostitutes and their image tarnished. Even today, at many places in India there are claimed Tawaifs as in Ghazipur, Burhanpur etc. As far as their fashion is concerned, I guess 'Farshi Pajama' is most notable. I've heard that the designer had recreated some of the rare patterns for this series that were popular earlier!

Same here and I am a fashion designing student

Nhii vaha sirf unka lo w da dalna sikhate the with dance and music 🎶🙃

@@yourfeelings9236 Tawaifo ko apne adab ke liye jaana jaata tha, isliye adab seekhne ke liye wahaa bachho ko bhejte the!

@@virferind7946 iska mtlb yeh toh nhi ki voh sex nhi Kiya krti thi offcourse yes they are not tution teacher 😂😂

@@yourfeelings9236 Bro its true that Tawaifs were engaged in sçx, but it used to be as per their choices & preferences, they were not primary sçx workers like prostitutes (like Gangubai), Tawaifs were primarily the entertainers & ladies of manners (like Geishas of Japan). On the other hand prostitutes are those women who unfortunately have to attend multiple customers every night as a matter of compulsion! Later in the history, due to British policies against arts & dances of Tawaifs & due to loss of patronage, Tawaif System got downgraded and the Tawaifs (courtesans) were pushed into direct prostitution and that's when the lines between being a courtesan (Tawaif) & a prostitute (Veshyaa) became blur!

kya fetish chl ra h ye bhad,,, pillo ko manners sikhane k liye esi jgh bhjna kya bhadwagiri h ye

Significant work by SLB ❣️ In love with it.....

@@arshiyaanjum4065 Yeah, I can't wait for his next- Love & War with Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt & Vicky Kaushal.

Main abhi iske 3 episodes dekha hoon abhi 5 episode baki 😢😢😢😢

​@@AhmedAli-km9ii Is it bad???

It's not real ofcourse but the way series bani hain aesthetically pleasing it's worth watching!!! Just for entertainment purposes

​@@yourfeelings9236beta seedha seedha bul K Netflix he Ni Hai 😂

@@yourfeelings9236 yes bro sometime feel good sometime feel bad but it's not so much bad for time paas very good option that's my opinion

Yeah exactly. Real life Tawaifs like Azeezun Baai had sacrificed their lives for our country! Many others like Vidhyadhari Baai, Husna Baai & Samru Begum took part in freedom struggle as well. There was even a "Tawaif Sabha" in Varanasi for assisting in Independence Movement. We should recognise & respect their selfless contribution in our aazadi!❤🇮🇳

I hate how he showed such a sad situation in such glamourised way. We should anyway never look down on victims of prostitution but the evil itself should not be shown in such a way. This was a poorly made and unserious series in typical SLB fashion.

@@mimi_gaming_ It was not the glamour he brought into the set, but the pov of the Malika jaan the way she used to perceive her shahi mahal and other places pf Heeramandi. All the glamour in the show is nothing but an artistic reflection of the greatness of these Tawayafs beyond just a bodily object for Mawabs.

Yeah Heeramandi is magnificent, next is Love And War, there's also Vicky Kaushal.🔥

Hiramandani was a disappointment let's be honest

@@evilbrothers8001 Bro, it depends on how we perceive it! I would say it's a masterpiece. It is sooo beautiful to look at! I do agree that it could be slow, & story might be a bit dispersed, so people who want fast paced & modernised storylines might not like it very much, but overall its awesome just like Mughal E Azam or Pakeezah. We don't see such artistic content in Bollywood frequently! Maybe that's why its trending on first spot in India & is amongst the top in 43 other countries!

@@virferind7946 ?? It didn't had a story and even the characters were not well written and had a impact on story at Starting it was good cause of cinematography and its beautiful scene but after some time they just over do it so much that it literally made ppl leave series in midway aur wahi bath rahi trending ki thu vo thu koi bhi bad director ki flim ayee thu vo 1st pe he jati hai salar thu more than 2 se 3 weeks ke 1st pe thi so is it also a masterpiece?

@@evilbrothers8001But characters of Manisha, Aditi & Sonakshi felt well-written. I think, more the art, more the delight! There are great songs, classical dances & chaste Urdu dialogues to hold onto the attention of the viewers, in addition to the cinematography, aesthetics & extravagant sets. There's great acting by Manisha, Aditi & Sonakshi (and a small but memorable role by Farida Jalal). There exist a dedicated audience for classic content, for them art is never enough & never excessive! The series has garnered 4.5 million views & 33 million accumulated viewership hours in the first week, that's a very positive response. If people had left midway how come it accumulated so many hours? 4.5 multiplied to 8 (for 8 hours), and we would get a figure close to its accumulated viewership hours so that means- most of the people have watched it completely, very few people left it midway (not surprisingly).

Shorts se story samajh aaye hogi but when you will watch whole web series that would some thing different.... awesome.....

Mai bhi 😂

But overall its a very good series, portraying a less discussed & forgotten topic of Tawaif's contribution in the freedom struggle of India!

There were no distinction between a statue and Sharmin’s acting.. awful performance by her🫣

@@salmaedward2803 She should have been given a smaller role instead of one so important! I guess Shraddha Kapoor or Kiara Advani would have looked awesome as Alamzeb.

Iska matlab tumhari maa ne bhi heeramandi me kaam kia hau
