The Sanjay Leela Bhansali series, Heeramandi, has garnered significant attention on social media, particularly due to actress Sharmin Segal's portrayal of Alamzeb, the strong-willed daughter of Manisha Koirala's character. While Alamzeb's role offered a substantial opportunity for Sharmin, her performance received mixed reviews, with some viewers criticizing her acting as expressionless.
In response to the criticism, Sharmin has showcased her ability to laugh at herself in a humorous and self-deprecating manner. Post the success of Heeramandi, Sharmin shared a series of picturesque photos from her vacation in Italy on Instagram. The highlight of the post lay not in the photos but in the hilarious caption, which playfully referenced one of her iconic lines from the series. This witty move has earned Sharmin brownie points from the audience.
This is not the first instance of Sharmin showcasing her self-awareness. During a promotional video for Heeramandi, Sharmin and her co-stars, Sonakshi Sinha, Richa Chadha, and Aditi Rao Hydari, participated in a series of exaggerated expressions. Sharmin even jumped into water, a subtle yet effective response to the criticism surrounding her performance in the series.
As Sharmin enjoys her vacation in Italy, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar continues to stream on OTT, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the second season. Sharmin's ability to handle criticism with humor and self-awareness has not only demonstrated her resilience but has also endeared her to the audience.
