Actress Sharmin Segal has broken her silence on being trolled over her performance in the web series Heeramandi. Sharmin played Alamzeb, one of the leads in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s debut web series, which premiered on Netflix last month. Sharmin has been at the receiving end of considerable amount of criticism over her performance in it.
In a recent interaction with News 18, the actress spoke about being trolled online after the show’s release. “I had given my all to Alamzeb’s character. We tend to fixate on the negatives but there are so many positives that have also come along, which we don’t talk about.
It’s perhaps not interesting enough to talk about positives and we tend to look over them to some degree,” the actress said. Sharmin was trolled after viewers complained that she had negligible expressions and criticised her dialogue delivery. Heeramandi also stars Manisha Koirala and Sonakshi Sinha in the lead roles, alongside Aditi Rao Hydari, Sanjeeda Sheikh, and Richa Chadha in supporting roles.
Talking about if she followed the online furore around her performance, Sharmin said, “There was a point when I was not looking at many things (reviews) but then slowly, I realised that I was also missing out on a lot of love that I was getting. I’ve now started paying attention to that. Over the last few days, I decided to look through it all.
The audience’s opinion is what will probably help you be the best version of yourself.” View this post on Instagra.
