Sharmin Segal’s performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s Heeramandi has stirred criticism for being ‘expressionless,’ sparking debate among viewers.
An interview conducted by News18 Showsha during the show’s promotion, featuring Sharmin and co-star Sanjeeda Shaikh, has drawn attention on social media platforms.
Sharmin Segal Indirectly Calls Sanjeeda ‘An Outsider’ After She Calls SLB A ‘Perfectionist’
In the interview, Sanjeeda praised Bhansali as a ‘perfectionist’ with a keen eye for excellence and honesty in his craft.
However, Sharmin interjected, dismissing the term ‘perfectionist’ as inadequate to describe Bhansali’s multifaceted approach. She targeted Sanjeeda by indirectly labelling someone calling SLB perfectionist as an ‘outsider’. She highlighted his ability to embrace spontaneity and seek rawness and magic in performances, challenging the notion of mere perfectionism.

The clip from the interview circulated online, eliciting mixed reactions from users. Many criticised Sharmin’s comments, labelling them arrogant and disrespectful for contrasting Sanjeeda’s composed response.
A user wrote, “What is she high on 24/7.” Another commented, “Something is so off bout her.”
A third user wrote, “She’s awful. So on top of being a terrible actress, she’s also mean and petty.”
Some condemned Sharmin’s perceived lack of appreciation for Bhansali’s expertise, attributing her remarks to privilege rather than merit.
