Heeramandi actor Sharmin Segal disables Instagram comments after being trolled for her “expressionless” acting.
The release of “Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar” on May 1st has ignited fervent discussions within the entertainment sphere, with particular attention drawn to the performances of acclaimed actors Aditi Rao Hydari, Sonakshi Sinha, Manisha Koirala, and Sanjeeda Sheikh.
However, amidst the accolades, one cast member, Sharmin Segal, who portrays the character of Alamzeb in the Netflix series, finds herself embroiled in controversy.
Segal, who happens to be the niece of the esteemed director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, has faced backlash from a segment of internet users, alleging her casting to be a result of nepotism rather than merit.
This critique, while not uncommon in the entertainment industry, has garnered attention, particularly in the digital sphere.
In response to the negative comments directed at her performance, Segal has taken a decisive step by disabling comments on one of her Instagram posts.
The post in question features Segal alongside her uncle, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, at the premiere of “Heeramandi” in Los Angeles, America.
Nepotism, a longstanding issue within the entertainment industry, remains a topic of intense debate, often raising questions about fairness and opportunity.
While familial connections may open doors, the ultimate measure of an actor’s success should lie in their talent and dedication to their craft.
Earlier, Sharmin Segal had shared a picture from a magazine shoot. The comment section of that post is now flooded with negative reactions. A user said, “I really dont like her as Alam .. no expression same expression?” Another one added: “Alamzeb was such a beautiful character but SLB cast his wooden, expressionless niece. Everytime she was on screen it was a yawn fest. Didn’t like her one bit. Even the girl who played Saima was way better than Sharmin.” A comment read, “Am I the only one who skipped her scenes because it was boring to watch? Someone else really deserves this role sorry to say !” A person even called Sharmin, “The most inexpressive actress.” Someone asked, “Why were you smiling in the whole series? You single-handedly ruined the joy of watching the series.”
Heeramandi actor Sharmin Segal was introduced to the film industry with the 2019 film Malaal. The project was backed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bhansali Productions.
At Malaal‘s trailer launch, Sharmin shared her thoughts about nepotism. She said, “There is nepotism in every field. Those who have connection in the film industry it is bit easy for them, they get the first opportunity easily. But they have to work very hard. The pressure is there on every film. One should not misuse the opportunity.”
Apart from Heeramandi and Malaal, Sharmin Sehgal has also appeared in the 2022 film Atithi Bhooto Bhava. The movie also featured Pratik Gandhi and Jackie Shroff in key roles.
