Netflix top boss thought Sanjay Leela Bhansali pitched Heeramandi to them to be rejected: 'It almost felt like a dare'
When Heeramandi, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus, was greenlit by Netflix, it was hailed as a landmark moment for Indian streaming. Bhansali has the legacy of being Indian cinema's most visually opulent showman. His films are larger-than-life and lavish. Hence, a series on the same scale was unthinkable. In a recent chat, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos revealed that he felt that the filmmaker almost wanted 'no' for an answer when he pitched the show. Speaking on Nikhil Kamath's WTF podcast, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos talked about the scale of Heeramandi and said, 'Heeramandi was probably one of the most creatively interesting projects I've worked on in India. I was involved in the greenlighting meetings for it. He (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) came to LA to do the pitch. He came in with this very big vision. Honestly, it almost felt like a dare—like he was saying, 'I dare you to make this; it's so big. He's a legend of cinema, so the idea of him making a TV Show was unheard of. I thought he came for us to say no. And then, when we said yes, there were lots of delays. It was a complicated production.' Announced in 2021, Heeramandi took almost three years to make and produce before it was released on the platform in May 2024. 'He built these enormous, practical sets that we shot on. There was something beautifully old-fashioned about every element of the production. And he was so proud of it. I was so proud of him. To me, Heeramandi is a true reflection of India's deep, enduring love for cinema,' Sarandos added. Heeramandi is a fictional tale set in the famous red light district of Lahore in pre-Partition undivided India. Bhansali had initially conceived the story as a film in 2007. It was later revived as a show in which Bhansali wanted to cast Pakistani actors Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, and Imran Abbas. But those plans had to be shelved due to the virtual ban on Pakistani artists in India after 2016. Heermandi stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin Segal, and Taha Shah Badussha.

Sashaying to the Top: Mrs. India Globe 2017, Veena Jain gets candid with TNIE
In the sunny upscale suburb of Palm Springs, California, women from 50 countries around the world gather with the hope of winning the prestigious Mrs. Globe Classique pageant, for women over 45. For over seven years, former beauty queen, Mrs. India Globe 2017, Veena Jain, as the national director of the pageant, has mentored Indian women, preparing them to compete at this international stage. 'Mrs. Globe is the top international beauty pageant in the 'Mrs.' category,' says Jain, who trains participants through all three rounds – national costume, coronation gown, and the swimsuit round, adding that Indian women bring a blend of emotional intelligence, cultural representation, and confidence that is needed in the presentation. 'Our representatives are confident, communicative, and emotionally intelligent. These aren't skills we need to teach; they are embedded in our culture,' she explains, saying, 'We look for someone who is poised, confident, social, and inspiring.' This year, Jain has taken Sharada Narayanan, a city-based fashion entrepreneur, under her wing, describing her as 'the full package, with a strong presence and natural charm.' Narayanan defines herself as a fashion designer, entrepreneur, social changemaker, mother, and spouse. Her journey to the Mrs. Globe stage wasn't easy; it began in the corporate world but an inner pull towards creativity led her to fashion design. 'Colours, fabrics, these fascinated me from a very young age,' says Narayanan, adding that her first time walking the ramp in her own design made her realise she had a side she hadn't explored yet, leading her to open her boutique, Metamorphosis.

Shedeur Sanders makes QB1 intentions clear with iconic diva song during Browns offseason grind
Shedeur Sanders drops diva-inspired post from OTAs, hints he's ready to lead the Browns (Getty Images) As the Cleveland Browns dive deep into Organized Team Activities (OTAs), one name continues to steal the spotlight—Shedeur Sanders. The rookie quarterback, drafted in the fifth round out of Colorado, is making a powerful impression in Cleveland's crowded QB room. But Sanders isn't just making waves with his arm—his latest social media post might have Browns fans humming a surprising pop classic long after practice is over. Cleveland's new QB1? Shedeur Sanders posts OTAs pics with surprise anthem that says it all Shedeur Sanders, the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, is blending swagger, talent, and marketing savvy to carve out a space for himself in Cleveland. His Instagram post on Saturday didn't just highlight sharp throws and on-field chemistry—it was set to the catchy rhythm of Kylie Minogue's iconic hit, 'Can't Get You Out of My Head.' It's an unconventional move for a 22-year-old athlete and rapper who just released his debut single 'Perfect Timing' earlier this year. But the message is clear: he wants to be unforgettable. That kind of confidence isn't new for Sanders. Despite a dramatic draft slide that landed him in the fifth round, his energy hasn't wavered. He's already shown fans that he's here to compete, not coast. From his laid-back arrival at rookie minicamp in a 'Legendary' outfit to quickly earning early praise over veterans like Deshaun Watson, Joe Flacco, and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel, Sanders is keeping the spotlight fixed firmly on him. Even when the internet buzzed with rumors that he splurged $500,000 on a luxury car, Sanders coolly brushed it off, showing he's more focused on football than flash. He even made a brief appearance at Travis Hunter's wedding, casually dressed and low-key, before heading back to work. There's a mature balance he's striking—one that hints at a deeper hunger to prove he belongs. The quarterback battle in Cleveland is no small challenge. Standing at 6-foot-2, Sanders may not match Joe Flacco's towering presence, but he's been electric during OTAs. While many rookies might blend into the background, he's been making enough noise to be ranked above his veteran and rookie counterparts by some analysts. Still, it's that combination of charisma and competitiveness that's making Sanders stand out. Whether it's through highlight plays at practice or soundtrack choices that show a self-aware, almost playful side, Shedeur is building a narrative that fans and coaches alike might find hard to ignore. In his own subtle way, Sanders is making a promise—he's not just here for a cameo. As Kylie's voice echoes through his post, the message is unmistakable: 'Can't get you out of my head'—and that's exactly where Shedeur Sanders plans to stay. Also Read: $750K gone!
