Sanjay Leela Bhansali's niece, Sharmin Segal has failed to impress the audience with her acting in Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. The actress has become a target of the nepotism debate and has been criticised for her monotone dialogue delivery. Apart from her acting spree, Sharmin also raised eyebrows for her cold behaviour with her co-stars during interviews and public events.
Recently, a netizen shared a video of the Heeramandi cast from their appearance on Netflix's talk show, The Great Indian Kapil Show.

Kapil looked quite surprised with the actress' revelations, and Sonakshi revealed that SLB scrutinised every little detail while filmmaking.
