Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 'Heeramandi' production designer recognizes Sharmin Segal’s efforts amid criticism

Stepping into a past era of luxury and mystery, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar has captivated audiences not only with its stellar cast and gripping story, but also with its breathtaking sets.

Described as one of the year's greatest web shows, the series has garnered much praise for its visual grandeur. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, production designer Subrata Chakraborty offers a glimpse into the creative process behind bringing Sanjay Leela Bhansali's vision to life for Heeramandi. But the interview takes an unexpected turn, as Chakraborty also sheds light on the unfortunate trolling faced by actress Sharmin Segal.

Subrata Chakraborty discussed Sanjay Leela Bhansali's vision for the show 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar' and mentioned the criticism aimed at Sharmin Segal's acting.

While some people have praised the show, there has also been a lot of negative feedback and trolling, particularly regarding Sharmin Segal's performance.

Sharing his thoughts on the matter, production designer Subrata Chakraborty commented, “Sir ka ek vision hai aur unhone kuch soch ke hi banaya hoga. Abhi kuch logo ko wo pasand nahi aa raha hai, kuch log kuch bol rahe hai to aisa nahi hai ki wo alteration karne wala aadmi hai. (Sir has a vision and he must have thought of something before making the show. Some people like it, some do not but he is not a man who would keep making alterations.)"

Chakraborty mentioned that Bhansali sticks to what he likes and doesn't change. He acknowledged receiving many messages about these matters but said he just deletes them.

The production designer remembered being on the set of 'Heeramandi' every day. Speaking further about Segal, he said,“Mujhe pata hai Sharmin ne jis hisaab se try kiya hai. Sir ke sath kaam karna matlab kitna bhi bada actor hone do wo try hi karta hai, sir jo soch rahe hai usko fulfil karna. To usne itna mehnat kiya hoga, ab logo ko nahi pasand aaya to hum kuch kar nahi sakte uska. (I know the amount of hard work Sharmin put into her acting. No matter how big the actors are, they only try to fulfill sir’s wish when they are working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. She has really worked hard but now if the viewers do not like it, we cannot do anything about it.)"

In the meantime, the show's creators have announced Heeramandi season 2, and fans are eagerly awaiting its upcoming release on our screens.
