Set against the backdrop of India’s war for independence in the 1940s, the show delves into the lives of courtesans and their patrons, as well as the cultural dynamics of Heera Mandi.

Richa and Ali met on the set of Fukrey in 2012 and quickly fell in love. They have been officially married since 2020, but they celebrated their union in 2022 with events in Delhi, Mumbai, and Lucknow.

Meanwhile, Ali and Richa are preparing to release ‘Girls will be Girls’, a film produced under their brand. The film, directed by Shuchi Talati, is a gripping story about a boarding school in a small Himalayan hill town in northern India.

It follows the story of Mira, a 16-year-old girl whose rebellious emergence is connected with her mother’s unfulfilled coming-of-age experiences.

The ensemble includes multi-award-winning Malayalam film actress Kani Kusruti and Jitin Gulati, as well as debutants Preeti Panigrahi and Kesav Binoy Kiron in lead roles.
