Sharmin Segal has been receiving criticism for her ‘expressionless’ acting ever since Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi released on May 1. Now, an interview has come to the attention of many users on X, which was taken during the promotions for the show, taken by Showsha. In the interview, Sharmin is seen negating the statement made by her co-star Sanjeeda Shaikh when she called Bhansali a ‘perfectionist.’ (Also read: When Sharmin Segal cried after Sanjay Leela Bhansali didn't approve her shot post 30 takes)
What Sharmin said
In the interview, when Sanjeeda was asked about her experience working with Bhansali, she said: “He is just a perfectionist. He wants everything to look not mediocre because whatever he does is nothing less than excellence. He is respected all around the world for his brilliant creative mind and incisive honesty towards his craft. He will expect his artist to give that honesty on screen. So I enjoyed all sorts of roops of Mr. Bhansali.”
The next moment, Sharmin interrupts and adds in, "I think perfectionist is a very basic word to describe Sanjay Leela Bhansali. It’s the kind of a word that an outsider who has never worked with him, been on his set and seen the kind of director that he is will use that. He is much more than that. He adapts to change very well. He keeps challenging through different things. It is not about being perfect. He looks for rawness, magic, spontaneity. If he was only a perfectionist he would not treat spontaneity the way he does."

That is just outright abhorring.” A second user commented, “The audacity of this woman!”
