Vivek Agnihotri recently commended Pakistani doctor Hamd Nawaz for her critique of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Agnihotri highlighted Bollywood's penchant for romanticising courtesans and brothels, questioning the bounds of creative freedom in the industry. Nawaz had taken to social media to express her dismay over the inaccuracies she observed in Bhansali's Netflix series, particularly noting the mismatched historical and cultural elements within the narrative. Agnihotri talked about freedom and added, "Also, a question we must ask: Does creativity give us the freedom to glamorize human suffering? Is it okay to make a film where slum life is depicted as a life of abundance? Is it okay to portray slum dwellers wearing clothes as if they are attending an Ambani wedding? Pl discuss," he added. Heeramandi: Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Period Drama Series Uses Modern Day Newspaper Stories In Scenes, Netizens Point Out Several Such Historical Inaccuracies In Netflix Show.
