Since the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s series, Sharmin Segal has been facing online trolling and criticism for her ‘expressionless acting’. Many of her co-stars, like Aditi Rao Hydari, have spoken up about the unfair treatment the young actress has been receiving. In a recent interview, her onscreen lover also defended his co-actress.
He said, “Sharmin has only done two films, and her method involves keeping it subtle. Having worked with her, I know she’s given her best as an actor. I didn’t anticipate receiving this much love and appreciation for my role; hence, the audience can be quite unpredictable, to be honest.”
Commenting on Sharmin`s professionalism and dedication towards her profession, Taha commented, “As far as Sharmin and her performance are concerned, I’ve literally lived with her on the sets. She was always punctual and tried to do her best. How it comes off to the audience is a different ball game, and I can’t comment on them. But I know that she has a great heart. She was always present on the set, and as an actor, that’s what you all need.”

The Heeramandi actor talked about his co-star Manisha Koirala during the interview as well. He said that pitting Sharmin Segal and Manisha Koirala against each other was an unfair comparison, as they have a vast difference in their industry experience. He said, “Manisha ma’am has worked with the best of the best directors and the best of the best actors. People learn over time. If the audience finds fault in Sharmin, she will do even better. I know she wants to and is eager to learn.”
Taha Shah shared his experience working with veteran actress Fareeda Jalal. She has made notable appearances in films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, and many others. Talking about her, Taha commented, “Farida Ji was a bundle of joy, a true soldier. Despite her age and health challenges, she never gave up. She shared the story of her late husband and soulmate with me. Every time she spoke of him, she cried. She believes he’s waiting for her above.”
