The Queens of Heeramandi have taken over the entertainment world and rightly so! Among the female leads, one of the male actors has also received lots of love on the internet since the release of the web series. It is Taha Shah Badussha. The actor’s portrayal of Tajdar Baloch in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s debut series has garnered him the status of the newest man crush in Bollywood and we are not even complaining. The Luv Ka The End star was recently clicked at the Mumbai airport.
Taha Shah rocked a comfy look like a pro for his airport appearance. Dressed in an olive green undershirt and black overshirt which he teamed up with matching black trousers, the actor exuded sheer charm and style as he posed for the paparazzi and smiled at them. While walking out of the airport, he even greeted the shutterbugs with folded hands, in a sheer display of his humility and down-to-earth demeanour.
Taha Shah plays the love interest of Sharmin Segal’s Alamzeb, a courtesan from Shahi Mahal in the web series of Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The actor’s complex character caught between love and the struggle for freedom has won several hearts. Consequently, his Instagram continues to get flooded with love and congratulatory texts ever since the Netflix series debuted last week. Recently, he indulged in a candid conversation with The Indian Express where he expressed his hope to be offered various roles after Heeramandi.
Taha shared, “I think Heermandi will change people’s perception of me as an actor. They know I can perform. I can expect the industry to look at me as an option now. Pehle toh main option bhi nahin tha. Umeed hai ki log kahenge, ‘Taha ko bulao.’ (I was not even considered an option. I hope now people will call me for various kinds of scripts and roles).”
Heeramandi explores the cultural reality of a prominent red-light district with the same name through the lens of courtesans and nawabs during the pre-Independence era in the 1940s. Packed with a star-studded cast including Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, and Sharmin Segal, the series is being showered with immense love from the audience for its screenplay, direction and acting prowess of the cast.
