Sharmin Segal Reveals Watching SLB’s Heeramandi ‘Just Once’
Talking to the media agency Sharmin Segal said, “I’ve watched Heeramandi just once because I don’t like over-watching my work. I only watch as much as required. You do get feedback and you need to reflect on everything that’s being said to you because as an actor, you don’t always get to go to the monitor and see what you’ve done (sic).”
The Heeramandi actress further added, “It’s so different to watch your own work, Heeramandi in this case, because I tend to watch it from a certain perspective. You tend to get critical of yourself. I get so shy and giggly when I watch myself onscreen. My cheeks also turn red (sic)!”

Furthermore, chatter amongst the social media crowds questions her securing of the role, insinuating a potentially nepotistic advantage, given she’s the niece of Sanjay.

The much-anticipated Season 2 of ‘Heeramandi’ is set to go on floors, boasting stars like Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Richa Chadha, Prathibha Ranta, Adhyayan Suman, Farida Jalal, and Indresh Malik. The series befits the historical context of India’s struggle for independence and vividly illustrates the fierce tensions between the star-crossed courtesans of Lahore’s Heeramandi and the British Raj authorities.
