Why is Sharmin Segal being trolled?
Nobody has anything hard on heart for Sharmin but several netizens have taken to social media to express their disappointment in her performance. She might be a good actress but the internet feels that the role she played deserved someone better. 
One user wrote on X, “Who's gonna tell her that wide lifeless eyes and slow movement of lips aren't enough to pull a character like Alamzeb who's madly into poetry, undoubtedly the weakest link of #Heeramandi.” Another commented, “I have to say that the casting of Sharmin Segal as Alamzeb in @netflix #Heeramandi represents everything wrong with Bollywood. The great #sanjayleelabhansali literally ruined his own show with this act of #nepotism.”
Recently while speaking to Pinkvilla, Shruti Sharma who played Sharmin’s best friend and maid Saima in Heeramandi reacted to massive trolling against Segal.
While speaking to us Shruti denied knowing about any criticism against her and added, “I don't know what audiences have liked or not liked about Sharmin, but I've seen her trying her best like everyone else on the sets. It doesn't matter who's being trolled, but trolling is a bad thing to do."
Shruti said that people should focus on healthy criticism rather than trolling. “It is a very negative way of approaching anyone. It is a kind of mental harassment. If it is happening, I am very concerned for her right now”, Sharma concluded.
Heeramandi is currently streaming on Netflix.
