Sharmin Segal is being trolled a lot in the Heeramandi web series. Many people are writing on social media that she got this role because she is Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s niece. Sharmin has told that she was selected after several auditions. Now Sanjay Leela Bhansali has also told why Sharmin gave such expressions and why she was perfect for the role of Alamzeb.
Sharmin’s face is like Alamzeb’s
Questions are being raised on the casting of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s niece Sharmin in Heeramandi. Many viewers feel that she does not know how to act. Now Bhansali himself spoke on this matter. He told India Today, her face is exactly like Alamzeb’s. She does not want to become a courtesan, she does not talk like a courtesan, she does not walk like a courtesan. There is innocence on her face. Where everyone else has lived that life, has faced manipulation and mental games. You wanted someone who has innocence. I think Sharmin was the right choice, not because she is my niece.
Sanjay had said this to Sharmin
Bhansali said that he took several tests of Sharmin after which he decided to cast her. He said, I told her that you have to do it properly because you are not from this world, you have never acted. All these actors have worked for a long time. They have played such characters. They understand tantrums, dance moves and elegance.
