Sonakshi Sinha is currently basking in the success of Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. In the series, she plays the role of Fareedan, a courtesan. On Saturday, Netflix India shared an interview with the star on Instagram. During the chat, Sonakshi opened up about the best compliment she received on the sets of Heeramandi. The actress said, “The best compliment I ever received on set was from Sanjay (Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali) sir. He told me, ‘You are an artist of impeccable calibre' - in those exact words. I thought I was going to faint at that point.” Sonakshi Sinha was also asked if she would like to play any other character in Heeramandi. To this, she replied,  “I think I would play Bibbojaan. She has got a great role.” Bibbojaan is another courtesan in the show who helps Indian freedom fighters in their struggle against British rule. The character has been portrayed by Aditi Rao Hydari.
