Ever since its release, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s series Heera Mandi: The Diamond Bazaar has remained in the spotlight for various reasons. The series received mixed reviews from both audiences and critics.

Additionally, in various interviews, users expressed their displeasure with Sharmin for her “arrogant” behaviour towards her co-stars Aditi Rao Hydari, Sanjeeda Shaikh, and Richa Chadha.

Heeramandi has found a place in everyone’s hearts. However, amidst the praise, Shamin Segal’s acting has faced significant trolling and criticism. In response, Fardeen Khan has reacted to the trolling of Shamin Segal.

Fardeen Khan spoke about his co-star Shamin Segal being trolled. He said, “Trolling is unfortunate. Everyone has the right to like or dislike someone’s performance, but trolling is just wrong and shouldn’t happen.”

According To Bollywood Hungama Report, Defending Shamin Segal, Fardeen Khan stated that she did an excellent job in the show. He said, “Her role was very complex and challenging, and she was working with some mega actors. I think it was a great start for her career and acting in general.”

Amidst the criticism, Shamin Segal compared her acting in Heeramandi to that of Meena Kumari in Pakeezah. She mentioned that she tried to portray the “nothingness” of Meena Kumari’s character through her role as Alamzeb.

Shamin stated that she had never seen a film like Pakeezah in her life, and she was inspired by Meena Kumari’s work in the film.

Fardeen Khan started his career in 1998 with Prem Aggan. After acting in Dulha Mil Gaya in 2010, the actor took a long break from acting. He made his comeback on screen with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s web series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, where he played the role of Nawab Wali Sahab.

Following this, the actor is set to appear in the multi-starrer film Khel Khel Mein alongside Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu, Ammy Virk, Aditya Seal, Pragya Jaiswal, and Vaani Kapoor.
