MUMBAI: Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar is a hot topic on social media, with actresses like Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, and Sanjeeda Sheikh enjoying great praise, but Sharmin Segal appears to be the one who is getting the shorter end of it.
The enormous settings and stunning aesthetics of the Netflix series have won praise from critics, but Sharmin's acting has come under scrutiny. In addition, the actress is currently receiving trolling for her habit of cutting off her co-stars in interviews.

Another video that has gained notice is her chat with co-actors Sanjeeda Sheikh and Richa Chadha, which occurred after a video of her interrupting Aditi Rao Hydari during an interview for Heeramandi's promotion went viral.
After Sanjeeda was asked about her experience of working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, where the Ek Hasina Thi actress appreciated the filmmaker for his dedication and for being a perfectionist, Sharmin interrupted her statement by calling Sheikh an ‘outsider’.
The move by some internet users to criticize Sharmin for her "privileged" life with Uncle SLB and even to suggest that she should practice acting before "disrespecting her seniors" did not sit well with the public.
After one of the social media users shared this video, along with the caption, “Sharmin gives out such mean girl energy”, it was followed by a slew of comments where netizens slammed Segal. “Yeah true cause if he was perfect he wouldn’t cast her cause she got no expressions!” said one of the comments whereas another one read, “Why is this woman trying to always one up her colleagues? She did it with Aditi Rao Hydari and now Sanjeeda Sheikh - both btw who have much more experience, finesse, and talent than her.”
One of the users expressed their changing perspective on Sharmin by saying, “I never tweeted anything against the acting skill or lack of it of #SharminSegal in #Heeramandi but this video is enough. Dear #SharminSegal, yes #SanjeedaSheikh is an outsider and yet when it comes to acting skills and hand work, she is light years ahead of you, want proof?” Sanjeeda is her senior and the way she disrespects her. I am just stunned,” shared another social media user.
