Netflix's Heeramandi: Netizens slam Sharmin Segal for being disrespectful to Sanjeeda Shaikh: 'You have no experience, no talent, nothing'

Sharmin Segal, who has been garnering severe criticism for her portrayal of Alamzeb in Netflix and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, has again come under the radar for apparently disrespecting her co-star Sanjeeda Shaikh.

A recent interview of Sanjeeda and Sharmin went viral on Reddit. When Sanjeeda was asked whether she was intimidated while working with SLB, she replied, “He is just a perfectionist. He wants everything to look not mediocre because whatever he does is nothing less than excellence. He is somebody who is respected all around the world for his brilliant creative mind and incisive advocacy and honesty to the craft… He is somebody who is very expressive. If he doesn’t like it, he doesn’t like it. And if he likes it, he will validate your performance in front of everyone.”

Why is Sharmin so obnoxious and disrespectful towards others? Sanjeena clearly got uncomfortable but handled it well

However, Segal said that perfectionist “a very basic word” to describe SLB and added,  “It’s the kind of a word that an outsider who has never worked with him, been on his set and seen the kind of director that he is will use. He adapts to change very well. He likes challenging himself with different things.”

This statement didn’t go well with netizens and they slammed the Malaal actress for disrespecting Shaikh.

While one netizen commented, “This is your (Sharmin) 3rd project. You have no experience, no talent, nothing. You are the one who’s least likely to accurately define what kind of director he is. The ego she has to not only cut off Sanjeeda (when she was directly asked that question by name) but to also insult her? someone who has almost two decades of experience over her.” Another one wrote, “Of course SLB isn’t a perfectionist in Sharmin’s eyes because he never demanded anything from her. No wonder she is surprised why other’s experiences are different from hers. The OUTSIDERS actually delivered note worthy performances.”
