Heeramandi actor Jason Shah has opened up about Sharmin Segal’s recent appearance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi. Sharmin, who is also Bhansali’s niece, played the role of Alamzeb in his web series directorial. However, her performance left many disappointed.
In a recent interview, Jason Shah shared that Sharmin should have brought in a little more emotion in her performance in Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. He recalled that even Bhansali had asked Sharmin to act from her heart on the sets of the show.
“I feel there should have been higher escalations of emotions in different places. I remember Sanjay sir also saying on sets to not act from here (mind) act from here(heart) to Sharmin and another actor alongside her (Taha Shah),” Jason told Ent Live.
“I don’t know maybe that is what they wanted from her. Maybe that is the one tone they were looking from this character, that is again the director’s call. But yes, she was alright, she did her thing, and we worked pretty easily together,” the actor added.
Previously, Sharmin’s co-star Taha Shah also opened up about the negativity she has been facing and defended her. He was speaking to Zoom when he said, “Sharmin has only done two films, and her method involves keeping it subtle.”
“Having worked with her, I know she’s given her best as an actor. I didn’t anticipate receiving this much love and appreciation for my role, hence the audience can be quite unpredictable to be honest. As far as Sharmin and her performance are concerned, I’ve literally lived with her on the sets. She was always punctual and tried to do her best. How it comes off to the audience, is a different ball game and I can’t comment on them. But I know that she has got a great heart. She was always present on the set and as an actor, that’s what you all need,” Taha added.
Taha Shah further explained that it is not right for the audience to compare Sharmin to her co-stars like Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari or Sonakshi Sinha because they have much more experience than her. “Manisha ma’am has worked with the best of the best directors and best of the best actors. People learn over time. If the audience has found fault in Sharmin, she will do even better. I know she wants to and is eager to learn,” he shared.
Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar explores the various aspects of a woman’s trials and tribulations. The show is currently streaming on Netflix.
