Sonakshi Roast Sharmin Segal : In a recent event reminiscent of the traditional mushaira, the women of the Netflix show “Heeramandi” took part in a roast session hosted by stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui. The event featured Aditi Rao Hyadri, Manisha Koirala, and Sharmin Segal facing off against Sonakshi Sinha and Sanjeeda Shaikh, showcasing a unique blend of comedy and camaraderie.
Sharmin Segal, who plays the character Alamzeb in “Heeramandi” and is the niece of the show’s creator Sanjay Leela Bhansali, has recently faced criticism for her performance in the series. However, a clip of Sonakshi Sinha playfully roasting Sharmin during the mushaira has gained traction online, adding an entertaining twist to the narrative.
In the viral video, Sonakshi humorously jibes at Sharmin Segal, teasing her for allegedly showing up unprepared on set and joking about her early bedtime routines. The light-hearted banter between the two actresses provides an amusing insight into the dynamics behind the scenes of the show.
Despite the lighthearted nature of the roast, Sharmin Segal‘s performance in “Heeramandi” has been a subject of intense scrutiny on social media platforms. Criticism of her acting abilities has led to the disabling of comments on her Instagram posts, highlighting the toll that online trolling can take on an individual’s mental health.
Sharmin, who made her acting debut in “Malaal” alongside Meezan Jaffrey, has previously worked as an assistant to Sanjay Leela Bhansali on various projects, including “Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela” and “Bajirao Mastani.” Despite her extensive experience behind the scenes, the transition to acting has presented its own set of challenges.
While co-stars like Aditi Rao Hydari and Sonakshi Sinha have received praise for their performances in “Heeramandi,” Sharmin‘s portrayal of Alamzeb has been met with mixed reviews. However, fellow actors like Shruti Sharma have come to her defense, urging audiences to show empathy and compassion towards Sharmin amidst the online criticism.
The playful exchange between Sonakshi Sinha and Sharmin Segal during the mushaira offers a glimpse into the lighter side of the entertainment industry, showcasing the camaraderie and camaraderie shared among colleagues. As the debate over Sharmin‘s performance continues, it serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges faced by actors in the public eye.
