Actress Sharmin Sehgal, who played the character of Alamzeb in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's series 'Heeramandi', had to face a lot of trolling. Now in a recent interview, she has broken her silence on this. She said- I only know that I worked very hard in the character of Alamzeb. The rest is up to the audience to like or not. But I feel that the hatred against me has increased a lot. However, I have my support system with me, which always stands with me. So I am not affected much by anything.
Regarding her statement on Meena Kumari, Sharmin says that people have taken her statement in the wrong way. She never compared herself to Meena Kumari. My words have been misinterpreted. I never said that she did not put in any effort in her acting.
Sharmin had said in an old interview
After the release of the Heeramandi series, Sharmin Sehgal said in an interview to E-Times that she watched Meena Kumari's film Pakeezah 16-17 times to prepare for her role. She played the role of Alamzeb taking inspiration from Meena Kumari.
Clarification given for commenting on Sanjeeda Sheikh
Regarding the outsider comment on Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin said- I will say it again that my words have been misinterpreted. You cannot question my relationship with Sanjeeda and Aditi by just watching a 10-second clip.
Sharmin had called Sanjeeda an outsider
During an interview, Sanjeeda Sheikh was asked how was her experience working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali? Sanjeeda said that he is a perfectionist. He is very creative. He wants no scene to look ordinary, whatever he does is nothing less than excellence. He is respected all over the world for his brilliant creative mind, sharp advocacy for art and honesty.
On this, Sharmin interrupted Sanjeeda and said that perfectionist is a very basic word to describe Bhansali. This is a word that can only be used by an outsider who has never worked with him or has never seen his direction on the set. I think his work is much more than this. Netizens did not like Sharmin's statement. They did not like the actress' attitude. Users claim that Sharmin interrupted Sanjeeda and called her an 'outsider'.
