New Delhi: Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’ has received a lot of appreciation worldwide. While the show is being loved, Sharmin Segal’s performance has garnered a lot of buzz online.
Amid the increasing trolling over her acting, several actors have come out in support of her. Now, her co-star in “Heeramandi” Fardeen Khan has also come out in her defence.
In a recent interview, Fardeen Khan said, ‘I think it’s extremely unfortunate, the whole trolling aspect of it. Everyone has the right to like or dislike someone’s performance but this whole trolling aspect is something that is totally wrong and shouldn’t be done and I believe he has done a great job in Heeramandi.’
He added, “Her role was very complex and challenging and she was working with some great talent. To me she came across as a strong individual and it was a great start to her career and acting in general.”
Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, ‘Hiramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’ also stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh and Taha Shah Badusha.
The series will be released on Netflix on May 1, 2024.
