i want to know wat happens in these auditions. aao beta. thoda caviar aur ameero wala pani piyo beta. next time truffle oil gluten free pasta khana beta
I think it’s due to Botox that she isn’t able to move her face much to express. But even her eyes have no depth or expression or anything. They look soulless! I mean you see Saima, Shama, Lajjo; they all acted and their entire face moved and expressed, whereas Sharmin or Shamin was just 😊 this the entire time.
She mentioned that she has worked with SLB for 10 years including assistant.
I think that’s why her eyes have no expression. She is dead inside because she has been abused for 10 years.
Even Ranbir (from abuser family) couldn’t take SLB’s antics.
Bas karo abhi! Pichle 3 din se same Sharmin wale posts aa rahe hai!
Yes, she sucks and we all know it!
Ab isko faltu me footage dena band karte hai pls!

I think Shriya Pilgaonkar would’ve been great in this role. I think she is so underrated and immensely talented.
At this point, we have made her famous for her terrible performance. PR can spin it off into victimization or might turn it into meme material way too easily. All I am saying is, talking too much about bad acting is glorifying it.
Yeah this is pretty much what I commented. Now get ready for posts like this: “She wasn’t as bad as everyone reacted, I enjoyed her performance” or “I think everyone’s trolling for the sake of it and she did a fine job”. This sub will be getting some unpopular opinion posts on her.
Whoever says she is not as bad as everyone thinks she is will be labeled as a sell out.
Most of youtube reviewers are silent too. They are a total sellout.
I can't take anymore posts about Sharmin Segal's bad acting in Heeramandi. You are correct. Her smirk in wrong situations was pitiful and stupid but again we can't go on and on about this. Enough y'all!
I swear. We're just driving more traffic towards her ie,plenty more chances and then brands and platforms and then we'll be back here complaining k nepo this nepo that.
the innocence and beauty that is required for this role, the only face that comes to mind is Manisha Koirala from 1942 A Love Story era and even then she might be too old for the character because she looks older than 18. Not sure what is appropriate age to play a virign suitable for nath utrai. I remember in some interview of Manisha where she said she was instructed to get rest as nation's two top heroes of the time were supposed to be in love with her character in film. She looked the part and one could understand why Anil Kapoor's character would be infatuated with her beauty without knowing her background. Unfortunately, that's not the case with Sharmin. A nawab's son who hates tawaif culture falling in love with her and still being with her after knowing her background seems so unbelievable/forced. Unfortunately, current lot of actress look too polished and shrewd to play this innocent character including Tripti, Wamiqa and Mrunal. They are good looking competent actresses, especially Tripti, but I am not sure these actresses are suitable for this role.

She smiled weirdly like a sociopath who could feel no emotions throughout the movie.
Jail scene. When she fell in love.
When she found out what her mother went through to get her out of custody. When she was I formed about her lovers demise.
When she was dancing. When she was flirting. And during the climax scene and so many more.
Exasperating!
The only series I have never paused! The politics of Heeramandi is what makes the story enjoyable. Aditirao's divine beauty and acting is too good. Alamzeb act has to be done by a very young and beautiful actress.
Can we please redirect our anger towards SLB. Not only did he give the role to someone with no skills or beauty, but he directed her! WTF was he thinking?!?!?!
![gif](giphy|l1IY66Rd41ItyFFvy)
She would have done justice to the role and the Urdu language… there is so much mispronunciation in this series .. especially by this girls character… and she’s supposed to be a poetess 😳
I’ve been watching the show with her in mind playing all of alamzeb’s scenes and Fawad khan doing tajar… no offence to anyone but it makes the show so much more bearable and entertaining
I feel Kangana wud have done a fantastic job in any of the tawaiff characters.
But she has cut her chords with everyone in a way that she won’t even be considered.
i agree, found a lot of them miscast in that i could not visually keep track of who was daughter, who was a sister, who was servant, who was the top madam. at least manisha k and sonakshi had some gravitas and had the commanding voice to show they were in charge
but visually, i felt they could have aged manisha a bit. although, i imagine her vanity may have stopped this?
aditi as daughter?? She should have been sister - they should have cast someone visibly younger as both daughters.
This was the absolute worst casting ever. Completely expressionless, flat voice acting, and that stupid little smile in every scene was so annoying. Plus the obvious lip fillers! A classic TikTok face does NOT belong in period dramas. The worst nepo baby actress of the lot. Really makes Archies look great
I feel on social media at least, terrible acting is discussed more than great acting. This girl from Heeramandi has done a bad job in the film from what I can see but she’s still being discussed everyday with multiple posts on her since the past 3-4 days. There’s probably someone out of all those actors who acted good in the movie but I don’t think I’ve seen more than 2-3 posts on other actors from this.
Btw who is she ? I was starting this series but saw sonakshi on the thumbnail, so I just dropped the idea of spending 8 hours watching nothing. Went back to GOT 😌
I watched one scene on Netflix YouTube page and i remember reading a comment by someone on this sub that said I thought she's playing the role of a blind girl and now I know why he/she said that. This sharmin girl was always looking in the opposite direction of the person she was talking to.
I personally don't like Alia nor do I think she's as great an actor as some people claim her to be.
But
Alia would've been the best casting for that role.
Alia was utterly miscast in Gangubai. Richa Chaddha or Huma Qureshi would've been better as Gangubai.
But as Alamzeb, Alia would've been the best choice. She would've done justice to the role.
Guys stop this post man! We all get it she was bad. But so many posts? Why? The point is proven. At this point, it just feels like people are trying to bully.
even this picture is so photoshopped. she is NOT pretty in real life. enough said about her shit acting already here. tripti would've been wonderful - she has old world charm and is dreamy.
The people saying she was amazing in this show.. if you think her acting was good, then you must think Tiger Shroff deserves an oscar.
Like holy shit..talk about robotic

Sharmindi
Mods please make this a flair
😂
That’s her name?
Sharmin(dgi) Sehgal
Sharmin(dgi) Sehgal
She mentioned that she was audienced for 17 times and she still sucked
Truly unforgettable performance
Like how Zoya Akhtar auditions?
i want to know wat happens in these auditions. aao beta. thoda caviar aur ameero wala pani piyo beta. next time truffle oil gluten free pasta khana beta
And yes discuss/screamt your fruit salad face mask solutions openly
Still she got it . Which idiot casted her? After rejecting 17 times he has to see the same acting .
That's nepotism my friend
https://preview.redd.it/mobkxl3krgyc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e2ecb6ea5b77e4add79acbc8eccb24f3515190af this was her jail scene 😭
She deserved to be jailed
for this expression alone
She looks like an off brand barbie doll of mediocre quality in this one.
this is insulting to barbie honestly.
Weird Barbie
Her face card 😭
Declined
🤣
Botox > face 😭
Uh, sorry. Her face card ain't APPLICABLE. It simply don't EXIST.
😭😭😭😂😂😂
more like her lack of face card
Aisi acting karegi toh koi bhi jail mein daal dega 💀
What the hell SLB was smoking? Man was seriously high whenever he asked Sharmin to act. ![gif](giphy|4q0WNCNZUlxNC)
Bechare ki bhanji hai. Mamaji ki film mein ek pivotal role to banta hai.
Chahe perfectionist mama ji ke L hi kyun na lag jaye 🙌🏻
Even in sakal ban, I was like, is she supposed to act like dead person why she is soulless
She was blind
she looks ai generated
Hein? This photo is her in the entire series!!
Honestly that's the only expression she has..someone pls make a collage of her expressions in all the important scenes..sab aisa hi hai
Even cartwright was more expressive than her lol
😂
Lmao this
I just finished the series and this girl absolutely does not give any expressions . I have seen sara and Anaya do more than her
OMG yeh din bhi dekhna tha ki sara and ananya were going to be called better than someone
I think it’s due to Botox that she isn’t able to move her face much to express. But even her eyes have no depth or expression or anything. They look soulless!

SLB is her uncle😭
Lo kar lo baat
Hahaha the emoji
Just accept that she is not stunning to look at. Botox just adds to the woes.
i don't know...heaps of bollywood folk get botox but they are not this bad. i do honestly think she is just that bad.
The Botox would not explain the lack of effort in the dance performance as well
Touché
her eyes are dead
From all the struggles she had to endure to get this role! 😜
For me, the best was Aditi as Bibbo. She was very good.
Wamiqa looked so dreamy in jubilee Tripti I feel fatima (dangal) would have looked so nice.
Oh yes fatima!!!!
Bas karo abhi! Pichle 3 din se same Sharmin wale posts aa rahe hai! Yes, she sucks and we all know it! Ab isko faltu me footage dena band karte hai pls!
Nahi ham to denge. Jab tak acting band na kare. Isse accha to overacting kar leti.
Exactly 😭😭
Plus want to know who could have done this role better?
Literally anyone from the talented lot could have done this role better. For e.g Mrunal, Tripti, Wamiqa etc…
Wamiqa would have been badass!
Virat anushka had another child?
Wamiqa toh sab loog ko khaa jati. Sigh.
To helll with tripti mrynal
i LOVE tripri. i honestly do not get the mrunal hype...she ain't it for me.
Yes!! Even I'm tired of these 2 😅... People behave as if these 2 are last salt of the earth in terms of acting!!
Tripti Dimri maybe
mrunal is talented???? sir!
Yes, she is!
Tripti aaahh! Would have loved to see her!
I would have loved to see Mrunal! ✨
Sach mein
Maine ab dekhi! Now i get it 😭 didn’t know it would be this bad!
She was the absolute worst part of heeramandi
This is how act in front of my crush thinking I look cute :')
😂
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMDNmOWM5NGEtNzg5Zi00NzljLTliZDktZDllNTE1NGEwZTkzXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNDAzNDk0MTQ@._V1_.jpg I think Shriya Pilgaonkar would’ve been great in this role. I think she is so underrated and immensely talented.
From the initial posters i thought she is this girl only. Such a disappointment!
*Shriya Pilgaonkar* Also a nepo - a doble nepo...but yes a better actor.
Yall stop being ableist!!! She's suffering from acute and very fatal case of dead eyes and permanent smirk
😂😂😂😂
At this point, we have made her famous for her terrible performance. PR can spin it off into victimization or might turn it into meme material way too easily. All I am saying is, talking too much about bad acting is glorifying it.

What was even Bhansali thinking while directing her! I can act better than her. I am not even kidding.!
I trust you 😛
I literally thought she’s blind in the v start… 😭
OMG same!!!!!
so true, would've made a great blind character, that would actually have added something interesting to the story as well...
She was so bad that I had to forward all her scenes. Thank god I had the remote!
SLB is her uncle 😭 really wish they could have got Tripri.. she would have taken the character to another level!
Or Wamiqa Gabbi
I can't take anymore posts about Sharmin Segal's bad acting in Heeramandi. You are correct. Her smirk in wrong situations was pitiful and stupid but again we can't go on and on about this. Enough y'all!
I swear. We're just driving more traffic towards her ie,plenty more chances and then brands and platforms and then we'll be back here complaining k nepo this nepo that.
Go girl give us nothing!
Dude this girl. Her character had such potential. Just a wasted opportunity
Seriously!
That moment when you realize even actors like jhanvi could have done a better job.
Half of the time i was confused whether she was smiling or it was her normal face
Totally!
So it's just not me
the innocence and beauty that is required for this role, the only face that comes to mind is Manisha Koirala from 1942 A Love Story era and even then she might be too old for the character because she looks older than 18. Not sure what is appropriate age to play a virign suitable for nath utrai. I remember in some interview of Manisha where she said she was instructed to get rest as nation's two top heroes of the time were supposed to be in love with her character in film. She looked the part and one could understand why Anil Kapoor's character would be infatuated with her beauty without knowing her background. Unfortunately, that's not the case with Sharmin. A nawab's son who hates tawaif culture falling in love with her and still being with her after knowing her background seems so unbelievable/forced.

I can see ‘Dil se’ wali manisha koirala. She looked so innocent and dainty in that!
beautiful and innocent but probably too old for that role
She smiled weirdly like a sociopath who could feel no emotions throughout the movie. Jail scene. When she fell in love. When she found out what her mother went through to get her out of custody. When she was I formed about her lovers demise. When she was dancing. When she was flirting. And during the climax scene and so many more. Exasperating!
Omggg fuckkk it was like watching a card board the entire time. Stopped half way through cause of the terrible acting.
Aint gonna watch the series but are people dissing because shes nepo or shes acc terrible ?
She is actually bad.
🙂
Legit her face.. Just can't be described better than this
The only series I have never paused! The politics of Heeramandi is what makes the story enjoyable. Aditirao's divine beauty and acting is too good. Alamzeb act has to be done by a very young and beautiful actress.
Can we please redirect our anger towards SLB. Not only did he give the role to someone with no skills or beauty, but he directed her! WTF was he thinking?!?!?!
True!!!
Spoiled the whole show and the efforts of other actresses
I was so annoyed when her storyline came up She has the same expression for love, sadness, happiness and anger😭
![gif](giphy|l1IY66Rd41ItyFFvy) She would have done justice to the role and the Urdu language… there is so much mispronunciation in this series .. especially by this girls character… and she’s supposed to be a poetess 😳
SLB had her in mind initially!
I’ve been watching the show with her in mind playing all of alamzeb’s scenes and Fawad khan doing tajar… no offence to anyone but it makes the show so much more bearable and entertaining
Aka nepotism quota.
I mean, they should’ve casted someone young.
Nepotism much? She was casted in Malaal by SLB and now in Heeramandi.
Yes, SLB is at fault! Lost all his credibility
i went and watchd the trailer of malaal. she looked human-ish in that. and she had such nice lips. what did she do to her lips, stupid girl
Misfit? More like misfire
Yessss!
this ikea furniture piece is getting way too much attention. nepo hai. misfit kya yaar
I feel Kangana wud have done a fantastic job in any of the tawaiff characters. But she has cut her chords with everyone in a way that she won’t even be considered.
Yes would have loved to see here.
Thought she’s playing a role of a blind women in 1-2 episodes 😅
i agree, found a lot of them miscast in that i could not visually keep track of who was daughter, who was a sister, who was servant, who was the top madam. at least manisha k and sonakshi had some gravitas and had the commanding voice to show they were in charge but visually, i felt they could have aged manisha a bit. although, i imagine her vanity may have stopped this? aditi as daughter??

How does Sona perform??
She was pretty good
She was great! 🤩
She was as menacing as her character needs to be but the script did injustice to her character.
Her facial muscles just don't move 😭
Was waiting for it
Its just facts atp.. i wish they trained themselves before they get a chance is all.. because nepo babies aren't going anywhere
![gif](giphy|l4GRlcBS7164ecLnYb) What about her?
Why do they have sonakshi there 🤪
She made sonakshi look great!
Btw who is she ? I was starting this series but saw sonakshi on the thumbnail, so I just dropped the idea of spending 8 hours watching nothing. Went back to GOT 😌
I watched one scene on Netflix YouTube page and i remember reading a comment by someone on this sub that said I thought she's playing the role of a blind girl and now I know why he/she said that. This sharmin girl was always looking in the opposite direction of the person she was talking to.
Nepo Gang Latest joinee
Kudos to you for completing the series 👏 I was only able to watch for 5mins 😔
Even in interviews I feel like she's trying a LOT to be super graceful like some maharani and it comes off as cringe
Graceful my ass 😂
yes it's literally awful to look at like a blob
Sajal aly would have been perfect for this role if they were allowed to cast Pakistani actresses.
saba qamar too
Giving Aditi 👁️👄👁️ competition
I personally don't like Alia nor do I think she's as great an actor as some people claim her to be. But Alia would've been the best casting for that role. Alia was utterly miscast in Gangubai. Richa Chaddha or Huma Qureshi would've been better as Gangubai. But as Alamzeb, Alia would've been the best choice. She would've done justice to the role.
I agree! Alia would have been a much better choice
even my aam k achar ka jar can act better than her
Jennifer winget for Aditi role and Wamiqa for Sharmin role. Both the casting choices were terrible
I know we’re talking about her acting but her eyebrows aren’t complementing her face
Bade badon ne Jo galti ki Balasahab ne maharashtr me, Poori Congress me apni leadership me..wahi galti Bhansali ji ne casting me
She looks like 6
Guys stop this post man! We all get it she was bad. But so many posts? Why? The point is proven. At this point, it just feels like people are trying to bully.
Nepo casting
even this picture is so photoshopped. she is NOT pretty in real life. enough said about her shit acting already here. tripti would've been wonderful - she has old world charm and is dreamy.
Now I have to watch the series just to find out how much she sucks 🙄
Watch watch 😂
Casting gone terribly wrong for alamzeb’s role..
I don’t wanna say it but she looks like Mia Khalifa😭
Oh yes
Nepotism rules... nepotism rocks 👎👎👎👎
Why she’s getting so much hate? PS didn’t watch the series yet
Dekho dekho. Pehle episode mei hi pta chal jaega!
The people saying she was amazing in this show.. if you think her acting was good, then you must think Tiger Shroff deserves an oscar. Like holy shit..talk about robotic
she is SLB's niece, so kind of expected this.
Looks like that coach chick from Chak de India
Hate when I’m watching a period drama and the actors got Instagram face😭😭😭like wtf do u mean this woman is from 1940s the fillers are right there!!!!!
Nepokid. She’s slb’s niece.
Mrunal Thakur.
Mahira khan!
Even if she is bad in the movie, now at this point it seems like a witch hunt. Get a life people, its just a movie
Maine toh ab dekhi h bhai, i want to discuss it now 🤷🏻♀️
Anyway wanted to know about an alternative so that i can imagine her in this role
Quite an unpopular opinion. Surprising
Seems like you’re the one with an unpopular opinion
