 "Sanjay Leela Bhansali finally breaks silence on Netflix's 'Heeramandi' actress and niece Sharmin Segal's performance being criticized: 'She had to go through…'")
Sanjay Leela Bhansali who is already known for the grandeur and visual opulence in Indian cinema, has once again captured the attention with his latest magnum opus webseries “Heeramandi- The Diamond Bazaar“. This ambitious project, set against the backdrop of pre-independence India, is not just a series but an extravagant journey through the cultural and emotional tapestry of a bygone era. From critics to audiences across the globe, Heeramandi is receiving accolades for its breathtaking visuals, intricate storytelling, and powerful performances.
The one performance that was singled out was that of Sharmin Segal . Speaking to India Today, the filmmaker stood by his niece and said, “She had to go through the grind. There were innumerable number of tests and auditions. There was no end to the number of tests I’ve done with her.”
Bhansali added, “Because this is a world you’ve never been to. You’ve never acted in a world like that. All these other actors on the show have worked over a period of time in a film like this or a character like this. They have understood all these nazakat and thumka and nakhra and all that.”
Critics have hailed Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ability to recreate an era with such authenticity and splendor, making “Heeramandi” a visual feast that rivals his previous works like “Padmaavat” and “Bajirao Mastani.”
Now with all the world speaking about Heeramandi , Mumbai Police also took an initiative to incorporate this magnum opus to their safety campaigns. They posted on social media saying “Azadi shouq nahi hai Nawab sahib, niyam kabhi na todne ki jang hain.”
As audiences around the world continue to be captivated by the beauty and depth of “Heeramandi-The Diamond Bazaar” it is clear that Bhansali’s latest creation is a masterpiece that will be remembered for years to come.
