Some people have criticised Sharmin Segal, who portrays Alamzeb in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, harshly for what they consider to be a “poor” performance.
Critics point to Sharmin Segal’s performance in Heeramandi: The Bazaar of Diamonds
Since Sharmin Segal is the niece of filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, some people are accusing her of getting the job only via nepotism. Segal portrays Alamzeb in the Netflix series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. Sharmin’s performance has drawn harsh criticism on social media, prompting her to disable comments on an Instagram post that showed her with Bhansali at the most recent Heeramandi premiere in Los Angeles. This is in contrast to the positive reviews received by co-stars Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sonakshi Sinha, Manisha Koirala, and Sanjeeda Sheikh.
Users have also commented negatively on Segal’s prior Instagram image from a magazine session, in which she appeared in her Alamzeb avatar. They have called her wooden and unfeeling. Some have questioned her casting, claiming that the part belonged to another actress who was better qualified.
“I really don’t like her as Alam. She doesn’t have the same expression, is that right?” One commenter referred to Sharmin as “the most inexpressive actress,” while another said as much.
2019 saw Sharmin make her acting debut in the Bhansali Productions film Malaal. Allegations of partiality sparked by Segal’s casting in Heeramandi have been exacerbated by recently discovered images of Segal with Janhvi Kapoor.
After someone shared many images of the 28-year-old actor’s older Instagram postings on Reddit, users began talking about how his looks had altered significantly. Sharmin seems unrecognisable in the leaked photos.

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”

In response to food blogger Nalini Unagar’s “proud to be a vegetarian” tweet, actor Swara Bhasker attacked Unagar. On Sunday, Nalini posted a photo of her lunch at X. It included a paneer dish and fried rice.
What was said by the food blogger?
Nalini shared the picture and added, “I’m happy to be a vegetarian. There are no more tears, cruelty, or guilt on my platter.”
This is Swara’s response.
In response, Swara penned, “To be honest… I find vegetarians’ arrogant self-righteousness to be incomprehensible. Denying the calf its mother’s milk, forcing cows to become pregnant, ripping them from their calves, and taking their milk are the main components of your diet.”
Furthermore, she said, “You eat root vegetables? That eliminates the entire plant! Just because it’s Bakr Eid, don’t stress about virtue signalling (folded hands emojis). June 16–17 is when Bakr Eid, or Eid al-Adha, is observed.
Swara just had her Eid celebration.
A few months after celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Swara posted a tweet. She celebrated the occasion with her daughter Raabiyaa and spouse Fahad Ahmad. On her Instagram Stories, Swara posted snippets of her Eid festivities. Swara and Raabiyaa were shown in one of the stories pointing at the Eid ka Chaand. Another photo shows Swara, her daughter, and Fahad posing as a family. Fahad is Muslim, but Swara is Hindu.
When Swara discussed the cultures of her and Fahad
Swara performed a chhathi puja for Raabiyaa the previous year. She revealed tidbits from the festivities and reported discovering shared cultural experiences with Fahad’s family. “The child is a mish mash of the mish mash we are,” Swara had wrote. She therefore has 62.5% UP, 12.5% Bihar, and 25% Andhra. Furthermore, I support representation and am always up for a celebration! Furthermore, since our wedding, we’ve learned that Muslims and Hindus in North India have common cultural customs, which strengthens my conviction that, despite our variety, love and joy will always find a language.”
“Chhathhi, or the sixth day of a child’s birth, is celebrated throughout UP Bihar. Mom and kid dress in the colour of turmeric or haldi, and aunts or bua put kaajal on the child and parents to protect them from ‘nazar,’ or the evil eye! I’m performing a well-known “sohar”—celebration songs for new babies. Although sohars are often used to celebrate newborn boys, I customised it for a newborn girl—oh! And although sisters and aunts sing the sohars, mothers don’t, so I thought, “Why not?” Dholak aa gaya hai! Thank you to @manisha2967 for the Chhathhi lesson and the beautiful singing I was able to do, and to Bhanu ji @partapsinghb11 for the dholak that helped make my singing pleasant.
