Sharmin Segal Turns Off Comments on Instagram After Receiving Hate for ‘Heeramandi’

Sharmin Segal, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s niece, has failed to leave an impact with her performance in his magnum opus ‘Heeramandi’. The consensus is that she wasn’t able to emote as well as expected. Some fans took to Instagram to slam her for failing to do justice to the role. These negative remarks made her turn off the ‘comments’ section on Instagram.

‘Heermandi’ features Sharmin Segal as the love-struck Alamzeb, an innocent young woman who doesn’t want to become a ‘tawaif’. She has several intense scenes with Manisha Koirala and Taha Shah Badussha in the series.
