Farida Jalal, a veteran actor, was last seen at an event in Mumbai on Wednesday night, after a long time. At the start of her brand-new show, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, she went. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is in charge of the show, which also stars Farida.

The Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham star wore a nice white suit to the event. When the cameras asked her to pose, she blushed. As she turned around to meet the cameras, a man helped her cross the red carpet.
The 75-year-old star’s fans were glad to see her again. One fan wrote, “She always does a great job.” “My favorite is the way she acts in Kamaal.” “This is why they say old is gold,” someone else wrote. “Her beauty never fades (She’s still so pretty today)” Some of her fans said she looked like “Jiya ki Nani” from the TV show Shararat.
At this point, we do not know what Farida’s part is in Heeramandi. As we could see from the video, she was shocked when she got the phone call with bad news. She looked royal in her fancy dress, though. A lot of people with big roles in the Netflix show are Manisha Koirala, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, and Sharmin Segal.

What will Farida Jalal do next?
Not long ago, Farida agreed to be in the movie Welcome to the Jungle with Akshay Kumar. “Farida ji doesn’t take on as many projects these days because she’s picky about the work she does,” a source told HT City. She agreed to do this one, though, because she thought the whole family would enjoy it. She has always been in movies that the whole family can enjoy, from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) to Batti Gul Meter Chalu (2018).
Farhia told HT in 2019 that she doesn’t see many roles that are worth taking on. “Before I leave, I have a lot more to give and do.” No one has used all of my skills yet. Someone should stop putting me in the same group as people who act like me. “They can’t think of anything else they can do for me, and it hurts,” she said.
