Sharmin Segal has been hugely criticised for her performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. Now, her costar from the web series Jason Shah (who portrayed the role of Cartwright) revealed some interesting facts about the actress from the sets. He recalled once Bhansali asked Sharmin to act from the heart and not from the head. Jason also felt that maybe the actress was asked to keep one tone for the character. He also believes that Sharmin’s character Alamzeb should have a higher escalation of emotion in different places.
In an interview with Entertainment LIVE, Jason Shah said “I thought, personally, there should have been a higher escalation of emotion in different places. I remember Sanjay also saying, ‘Stop acting from your head, act from your heart’. But I don’t know, maybe that’s what they wanted from her. Maybe that was the one tone that they were looking for from this character. But that’s the director’s call. She was alright. She was doing her thing. We worked pretty easily together. We never had any difficulty as such.”
Jason was asked if Sharmin was advised to give a muted performance. He replied, “Maybe, that’s what I think. If not, if she wasn’t told to keep it one-tone, I felt that the character had a lot of space and a lot of scope to do a lot of different things. I didn’t feel it was fully explored. But I’m not the director.”
Earlier, Sharmin’s costar from Heeramandi Aditi Rao Hydari also reacted to the criticism faced by the actress. In an interview with Puja Talwar, Aditi said “I know some people like something and some people don't. There is a way to say it. It can get very mean. It has gotten very mean and I think it's not fair and it shouldn't happen like that. I don't know what else to say but I do feel bad. I think we should all understand it and be there for each other.”
