Sharmin Segal responds to backlash

While 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar' has received praise from some audiences, it's also facing notable criticism. Many are concerned about how the show portrays non-consensual sex, depicts women's suffering, and aestheticizes their pain.

A lot of the scrutiny has been directed towards Sharmin Segal, an actor in the series and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's niece. Since the show premiered on May 1st, Sharmin has been heavily criticized for her performance, with many calling it subpar. The backlash escalated to online trolling, prompting Sharmin to reportedly disable comments on her Instagram account.

Beforehand, Sharmin spoke out about the criticisms and online harassment, sharing how she copes with the intense scrutiny, Talking to BBC Asian Network, she said, “There is a lot of pressure and sometimes it manifests in weird ways,” adding, “But I have a really good support system. I think my strongest support system is my sister. She also happened to be an assistant director on the show. So, it worked out in a way where I do have my outlets where I can vent.”
