The leading ladies of Netflix’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar shared their thoughts on their respective characters and their challenges while working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ambitious web series. However, what stole the spotlight was the playful banter and roast session among the actresses. Heeramandi Actresses Engage in Hilarious Roast During Interview.
Hilarious Roast During Interview:
Sonakshi Sinha, who plays a pivotal role in the series, didn’t hold back when roasting her co-star Sharmin Segal. In a now-viral clip from the interview, Sonakshi humorously pointed out Sharmin’s habit of rushing through scenes to wrap up early. She quipped, “Sharmin ko har din set ka wrap jaldi karwana tha. Raat main jaldi so jaati thi, agle din school bhi toh jaana tha. Sharmin din bhar jitne Gen Z alfaaz ratt jaati hai, kaash kisi din set pe aane se pehle apne dialogues bhi yaad karke aati.” The playful jab left everyone in splits.
Not one to be outdone, Sharmin Segal fired back with her witty retort. She compared herself to the legendary actress Waheeda Rehman, saying, “Sanjeeda Heeramandi main Waheeda bani hain, is baat pe ek sher arz karna chahti hoon. Waheeda ke naseeb main batua hai khaali, Fareedan (Sonakshi’s character) se kya dosti karogi voh khud hai jaali (fraud)? Choti behen hoke dushman ke saath haath mila liya. Yeh karke, apni khud ki aukaat gira di.” Sharmin knows how to hold her ground and deliver a punchline.
While the roast was all in good fun, Sharmin Segal has faced her share of criticism for her “expressionless” performance in the series. Some internet users even attributed her role to nepotism. However, fellow actress Shruti Sharma, who played Sharmin’s maid in Heeramandi, defended her co-star. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Shruti emphasized that trolling is unacceptable and urged people to focus on healthy criticism instead. She expressed concern for Sharmin and reminded everyone that actors put in their best efforts, regardless of the role or background.
Heeramandi boasts an ensemble cast, including acclaimed actors like Manisha Koirala, Richa Chadha, Shekhar Suman, and Aditi Rao Hydari. While Manisha, Sonakshi, and Aditi have received praise for their performances, Sharmin’s portrayal of Alamzeb has sparked both debate and laughter. As the series continues to captivate audiences, the playful camaraderie among the actresses adds an extra layer of entertainment to the behind-the-scenes drama.
In the world of Heeramandi, where diamonds hold secrets and power, these actresses prove that a little friendly ribbing can make even the toughest roles more enjoyable. As viewers, we eagerly await more glimpses of their chemistry both on and off-screen!
