Netflix's Heeramandi actor Shekhar Suman reveals he couldn't tell his wife about the oral sex scene in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's directorial: 'It’s not worth telling &...'

Shekhar Suman has been garnering rave reviews for his portrayal in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. While fans have showered love on the veteran actor, his oral sex scene with Manisha Koirala has grabbed all the limelight.

Talking about that scene, Suman’s character Nawab approaches Koirala’s Mallikajaan but is too drunk to realize where she is sitting. As per Shekhar, filmmaker Bhansali envisioned the actor’s character turning around for fellatio mid-air thinking that Mallikajaan is sitting on that side.

While talking to PinkVilla, Shekhar revealed that he couldn’t tell his wife Alka about the scene. “I couldn’t even tell my wife what he is doing. When I came back from the shoot, she said you did a scene and you are not telling me about it. I said ‘voh batane layak hai hi nahi aur karke dikhane layak toh bilkul bhi nahi. Voh tum seedha hi dekh lena’ (It’s not worth telling and not absolutely not worth being perfomed again. You just watch it.)” said Suman.

Talking about his character’s mental state, he added, “He was aware of the fact that Mallikajaan was exploiting him. He was aware that he had to fall from grace to be on the side of the Britishers. He was aware that he had to leave his status as a nawab and be lying around here in a drunken state for his physical need or his lust or whatever.”

While talking to Firstpost, when asked since Heeramandi is made on such a big so why it has not released on big screens, Shekhar Suman replied, “That was my major reaction and my initial feeling that such a hugely and massively mounted series, which you rightly said, is brimming with opulence, if people will enjoy on their phones and television sets as much as they would’ve on the big screen. In a way, no. That scale and opulence cannot be matched on the small screen. But it’s a Netflix series so we have to do it with the smaller one, but I’m also hoping Netflix decides to release it theatrically and it can be done. I hope they take the wise decision to release it in theatres.”
