Sharmin Segal heaps praise on Aditi Rao Hydari’s post online backlash.
Actor Sharmin Segal has praised her Heeramandi co-star Aditi Rao Hydari’s caring nature weeks after receiving flak online for her performance. In a recent interview, when asked who was most supportive on set, Sharmin named Aditi and described her kindness. She said she learned grace from the actor, who displayed motherly care toward her.
Sharmin’s portrayal of Alamzeb in the period drama faced criticism for being ‘expressionless.’ She said she welcomed constructive feedback and has long focused on mental well-being to develop a thick skin for varied opinions.
Earlier, her labeling Aditi a punctual ‘school girl’ drew ire. But now Sharmin spotlighted Aditi’s compassionate qualities.
Heeramandi highlighted the red light area’s socio-political landscape during British Rule through interweaving stories. It featured an ensemble cast including Sonakshi Sinha and Richa Chadha.
While Sharmin is Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s niece, appreciation for Aditi signifies moving past controversies. Season 2 of the acclaimed series is also in the offing.
The actor emphasized focusing inwardly through self-work to Rise above public judgment. Collegial support from Aditi seems to have boosted Sharmin’s confidence amid vitriol surrounding her performance.
