Not only the lead actors but also the side actors of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s recently released Heeramandi have been liked a lot. Bhansali has depicted every character so intelligently that even though his screen space was less, he remained in the audience’s eyes for as long as he was seen. Shruti Sharma, who played the role of Mallikajan’s servant and Saima in Heeramandi, has now talked about Sharmin Segal. Sharmin who is being trolled a lot since the release of the series.
Shruti says that Sharmin is a very strong woman. Describing an incident, Shruti said that once I was very scared on the set and at that time Sharmin supported me like we were supporting each other in the series.
Sharmin is a good hearted person
Speaking to E Times, Shruti said, ‘It was a lot of fun working with Sharmin. He is headstrong. When she thinks she has to do something, she does it. Besides this, he is quite cooperative. I remember one day I was very scared on the set, so she kept supporting me and telling me that nothing would happen. Everything will be alright. Why are you so afraid? She is a nice person and we had good chemistry on the sets too. I think we both care for each other a lot.
Bhansali’s vision
Describing Bhansali’s vision, Shruti said, ‘You won’t believe it. We used to go to the set where readings took place and if we did not understand any dialogue during the reading, we kept changing it until the song matched with the dialogue. A perfect choreography, a perfect song set for everyone. Our costumes were also designed like this. This was the mood of the scene. This should be the color of the room. According to him, what color will the actor’s clothes be? What will be the color of the clothes of the actor in the center and what will happen to the actors sitting on the side?
The two years it took to make this series are because of all this because for half the day the head decides that our character should be serious at all costs. It should look real and fantastic.
