Farida Jalal at Heeramandi premiere
The Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham actor blushed when asked to pose for the cameras by the paparazzi while sporting a spotless white suit for the occasion. She turned around to greet the paparazzi, but a man was helping her across the red carpet.
The 75-year-old actor’s admirers were delighted to see her again. A fan commented, “My favorite, inki acting to Kamaal ki hoti hai (her acting is always good)”. Another person wrote, “Tabhi to kahte h old is gold (This is why they say old is gold).” “Aaj bhi, kitni khubsurat hai (she’s still so pretty).” Other admirers recalled her from the television series Shararat as “Jiya ki Nani.”
It is still unclear who Farida is in Heeramandi. She looked stunning in an extravagant gown in a brief scene from the teaser, and she appeared shocked by the terrible news she had just learned over the phone. In significant parts, the Netflix series also stars Manisha Koirala, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, and Sharmin Segal. It narrates the tales of a few courtesans in India prior to independence.
What’s next for Farida Jalal?
Farida just joined the cast of Welcome to the Jungle, starring Akshay Kumar. A source told HT City, “Farida ji takes on fewer projects nowadays because of her age and because she’s picky about the work she does. That being said, she was on board when she heard the script and thought it was a family entertainer.” She has remained consistent over the years: from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) to Batti Gul Meter Chalu (2018), she has starred in movies that families can watch together.”

In a 2019 interview with HT, Farida stated that she hardly ever finds parts that are worthwhile to take on. “Before I say farewell, I have a lot more to contribute and accomplish. I haven’t reached my full potential yet. People ought to go beyond generalizing about me based on comparable characters. The fact that they are limited to thinking in specific ways for me is depressing and hurtful,” she had remarked.
