Sharmin Segal’s Controversial Comments

In a heated interview where she talked about how Aditi Rao Hydari is “A good schoolgirl you know. So the teacher will tell you to hand in your homework at this time and Aditi will only do that and not one extra word beyond the stipulated work count. That’s just who Aditi is. So according to her everyone is late and she is on time.”

Reddit Reacts Strongly

Immediately, the footage was posted on the Reddit platform for people to see what they thought about it. The post read, “After terrible acting she still finds the guts to speak so disgustingly nasty! She always goes against senior heroines while behaving like a know-it-all even though she never knows anything about any topic whatsoever whenever she opens her mouth during interviews so I’m asking myself doesn’t this girl have PR/Team controlling all this because that’s what other actors usually do?”

Lack of Professionalism

Comments poured in which showed both Sharmin’s ignorance of media practices and lack of professional etiquette. One user noted, “She didn’t get any media training…it’s very important.” Another critic said “this doesn’t look like someone who has ever gone to school or been raised with manners; Making insolent faces, patronizing head shakes, smiling holier-than-thou, cutting in and loudly contradicting colleagues when they are talking…It’s unbearable!”

Acting and Etiquette Problems

Her acting also received scathing reviews. A certain user commented, “I just can’t see this human being. She can’t talk properly… can’t emote/ACT/deliver lines properly… dude that’s your freaking JOB… first do that… then criticize others.” 

History of Disrespect

This is not the first time Sharmin has been accused of disrespecting her co-stars.A Redditor pointed out a previous instance involving actress Sanjeeda Sheikh. When Sanjeeda called him a “perfectionist” during an interview, he was again interrupted by Sharmin. She said “People who don’t understand him, and outsiders who never worked on his set call him a perfectionist.” This comment made while seated next to Sanjeeda was seen as rude.

Impact on Her Career

The backlash against Sharmin is not limited to her comments only but cuts across her overall demeanor and performance in Heeramandi. Many users believe that her behaviour and unprofessionalism reflect negatively on her ability to work well with others in a team setting. This might have implications for her career over the long term because both talent and working together are highly regarded in the entertainment industry.
