Heeramandi star Sharmin Segal has been facing severe backlash online due to her weak performance in the web series. She is also criticised for her ‘rude’ behaviour towards her female co-stars of the show during the promotions. Amid all kinds of trolling, actress Sonal Chauhan posted an Instagram story where she urged people to be kind towards an ‘actor’ and asked them not to set a narrative based on ‘one’s performance. She also stated that ‘she is not a villain’. Though she did not take any name, it is quite evident that Sonal was talking about the Heeramandi star. The post has been widely shared on the social media platform ‘Reddit’ and people started sharing their views on Sharmin.
In the post, Sonal wrote, “It is so sad to see how social media/some Instagram pages are making a villain out of a person just because trolling them at this point will bring them a little more traction and engagement.”
“It is quite evident how videos are being manipulated to make this particular actor look bad or how statements out of the whole interview are being put there just because making them look bad is ‘trending’ right now. Don’t forget that you started this trend and you’re adding to it. You are adding to the narrative. One’s onscreen performance does not define their entire character or personality. She’s not the villain, you are,” she concluded. Sonal also added some hashtags like ‘shame on you’, ‘draw a line’ and ‘be human’
Who is she talking about ?

Netizens Reactions
People shared their opinions on the ‘Reddit’ post. A user said, “If it's Sharmin. She deserves ALL the criticism coming her way. She's an awful actress (not an actress at all actually). And her interviews have showed time and time again she's an entitled obnoxious person. Lacks basic decency. There is nothing wrong in calling out her horrible demeanor.”
Another comment read, “Funny thing is Sharmins videos are not being manipulated in the slightest to make her look bad, trust I’ve seen most of the clips that get posted here that go viral, and the interviews they’re pulled from. 98% of the time there’s not a single cut, not a single misrepresentation of the question being asked. That’s legitimately just what Sharmin said She’s an obnoxious brat…who has no social awarenesss…and is a bully but people online are bullies for recognising she’s a bully?? Kya logic hai lmao.”
“Sonal thinks she might get a slb movie after taking sharmindi’s stand,” said an online user.
Sonal Chauhan made her acting debut with Jannat: In Search of Heaven alongside Emraan Hashmi in 2008. She went to work on many films like Paltan, Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap, The Power and The Ghost to name a few.
