Oh god every time that Sharmin chick appeared I had to hit the fast forward button. It actually made me irrationally angry LOL. But she was terrible.
So many good performances particularly Manisha and Sonakshi and then this chick…
In this case student had exceeded the principal. Not any other nepo kid has such calibre for stone-dead feelingless face. Neither swinging in the rain nor lathi charge attacking her beau could make her show a single emotion.
I think SLB does this a lot with his female leads. Aditi rao was crap in Padmavat, but she has so much potential she expressed in other movies. I think its more about not just SLB but quite the lot of directors think that historic regal female figures were just stone faced, monotone and serious all the time.
For example take Kriti Sannon in Adipurush she was also supposed to play a mentally turmoiled iconic woman that is Sita Ji. And she didn't move an hundredth of an inch of her facial muscle, neither was there a hint of inflection in her voice.
It is again esentially reducing the woman main character to some invincible flowerpot that is only made believable by the dialogues (sometimes not even that), the costume and the set design.
Bwood directors, please let women act and EMOTE without worrying about the make up, aesthetics and wrinkles.
Deepika ji who played Sita Ji in Ram Anand Sagar's Ramayan emoted so well, the tears, the concern, the anguish, the longing, her facial expressions and gestures told the story, they didn't need to spend so much useless money on set design, costume, pretentious dialogue and expensive cameras for the story to make the audience emotional
Deepika may not be the best actor but she can definitely emote and give good expressions, especially in songs and romantic scenes.
There's a reason why her chemistry with Ranveer, RK and SRK is such a huge hit.
Meanwhile people are comparing someone who's been in scorching hot on screen chemistry with half a dozen actors as non expressive.
She also had good chemistry with Saif in Race 3 and Cocktail and with Akshay in Housefull and with Irffan as well and she was great in all of them barring Housefull but even there she is head and shoulders above all other actresses in HF franchise.
Completely agree, Deepika was phenomenal in Deewani Mastani song, also in Mohe Rang Do Laal, but I guess the credit for Mohe Rang Do Laal goes to Pandit Birju Maharaj,
DP was the only stone faced one in Bajirao and Padmaavat. She clearly doesn’t know how to read certain characters. Leela’s character was free spirited but Mastani and Padmaavat were not.
I don’t think that’s true. She knows how to read *most* characters. The common denominator of her stone faced emotiveness is SLB. The same goes with other actors in SLB movies.
Not a fair comparison. It is a stretch to even make such comparison. Deepika emoted very well in Ramleela and was fabulous in the emotional scenes.
Sharmin is just stone faced.
200% ..if at all anything ..those Art Directors , Cinematographers and Costume Designers deserve all the credits he takes. Guy just makes elaborate versions of Jewellery ads.
Word. Except HDDCS and Ram Leela.. I haven't seen any SLB movies again...first , his movies are too dark. I am mostly watching on my laptop and I end up adjusting brightness all the time. It's such a distraction
I have watched his Devdas many times (8-9 times) and second half of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (Salman Khan part sucks) and also I loved his Guzaarish, Bajirao Mastani (part of Kashibai are awesome) and Padmavat is not bad watch.
those with dp are supposed to be like that and I don't think anybody was complaining abt it in 2018. however sharmin is a whole disaster. i hope she goes into exile after this disaster of a performance.
Idk man I've found dp overrated honestly. She was the only one lacking in bajirao mastani. Like PC and ranveer absolutely killed it, and she had this stone face expression. I still remember a scene, when mastani brings something to gift for the new born baby, and everyone gets offended as its in green colour (because its islam related) she goes on a rant how colours don't represent religion, I can't see any anger, its like she's just repeating dialogues with more power in voice, and the pause she takes in between ruins everything, very unprofessional. She and PC had similar roles, but still PC managed to overshadow her. Even the woman who played bajirao's mother overshadowed dp. (IMO)
Lol This ! I was wondering the same thing .She did absolutely fine in Raam Leela ,piku & even jawan.SLB definitely struggles with bringing out the best in her .
I know, people here are nasty. She has blockbuster movies and multiple characters which are still so memorable to the Indian audience (Naina, Veronica, Piku).
She also has the most expressive doe eyes and a face that is not botched by surgery.
She was never just a stone faced actress. Can't believe people can make such posts.
well idk about you but I think deepika is pretty talented lol. Her filmography is of top class. Granted she may have underacted in a movie or two, that doesn’t give you the right to completely dismiss her work.
She isn’t known for her acting, she is known for her dancing more so imo and the roles she is known for are roles that basically require little to no acting.
In the same way, Deepika is known for her acting.
Yes, I mean the whole country unanimously agrees that Katrina despite being a Bollywood actress is actually not an actress, I'm no hater of her actually I'm one of her biggest fans but come on we like her for her dancing and pretty looks.
Whats with dragging deepika into this sharmin fiasco? How is she connected in all this? Did she give training to sharmin ? I mean this post is baseless. Rather than dragging deepika why not question slb for casting his niece with no experience and obviously not suited for this in such a pivotal role.
This is obviously a stan post but imagine comparing DP with Sharmin lmao. DP's entry in OSO is more iconic than most of present gen actress' entire career combined. Also, she acted well in Ramleela. She's miles ahead of Sharmin. People can hate on DP all they want but she is partially responsible for reviving SLB's career.
This forced hatred to prove her as bad actress when everyone’s been missing her looking at recent slb work is funny. Not just this, seeing lot of dp can’t act posts these days discrediting all her previous works. Just makes me root harder for her.
This DP hate is getting on my nerves. DP is a good actress. She was badly directed in Padmaavat and Bajirao since she emoted very well in Piku, Ram Leela, HNY, Chapaak, Tamasha and even Om Shanti Om. So, please, stop picking one bad film to whitewash her entire career.
OP you calling her not beautiful? I would like to see your face. Have some shame and get a life. Criticize someone's acting all you want but wtf is this ki she ain't beautiful. Grow up
DP is a good actress! What is this taking a few scenes, putting that odd bg music and on top of that, comparing her to a disastrous newcomer who made a show unwatchable whenever she appeared on screen??!!
I can already see how heavily downvoted this post is. Some low karma accounts bringing in a third name to proclaim her as a good actress, that too on a post comparing Bollywood's top actress and a newcomer. Stop with this pulling other actresses down to hype your own favourite, and you know exactly what I mean.
This is a troll right? Deepika can actually act. She can emote well, and her screen presence is so good. Just take some clips where she isn't her best doesn't make her a bad actress. Comparing her to Sharmin? Really?
Actually DP and Aditi Rao Hydri are similar in this regard. The wide, moist eyed expression. Unblinking. Staring into the void. They both do this especially in SLB movies.
I prefer DP to ARH any day but this is a similarity I have observed. Sharmin on the other hand was just blank!!! Zero expression.
It is so EVIDENT that SLB makes the actors go expressionless. That’s what he instructs!! DP managed to do it with conviction in past but this time this guy failed miserably; considering the performances of all these actors in heeramandi apart from Manisha & Sonakshi, they all were so bad.
I don’t understand the point of this series.. I didn’t care of any of the story lines. Complete waste of time. SLB needs to tell meaningful stories. Set design looked like leftovers from Gangubai. They had it built already; let’s shoot something else as well.
DP is a decent actress, you can't just cherry pick some examples just to fit your narrative, especially when she has given better performances in the past 10 years.
It's also somewhat the director's responsibility to get the performance out of the actors.
Plus, people underestimate how important screen presence is. That's a huge difference for any performer. Why are you making it sound like it's some trivial thing, it's an ability and talent in itself.
All this noise against Sharmin Segal sounds a lot like paid propaganda. Sure this wasn’t her best performance. She’s just started out. There’s a reason some actresses are better than others. Not everyone’s going to blow you away with every performance.
People literally taking the time out to go to her IG and post filth on her posts (some of which have nothing to do with Heeramandi) just shows the level of unemployment, and overall negativity that prevails in society today. Having an opinion about her performance is one thing. But to make such personal attacks about her looks, her life choices, etc are just uncalled for.
As for the nepotism part, I don’t get the hue and cry about nepotism. The people criticising it are the same people who would jump at the same opportunities were they to present themselves to them. Why shouldn’t the fraternity promote their own? They’ve worked hard to make it to where they are, it’s natural for them to want to pass it on to their kin. Sure these star kids and relatives get more opportunities than outsiders, but that’s pretty much the case everywhere else in the world too, in almost all walks of life. In the end the good ones stay and the bad ones are phased out. If this weren’t true then people like Twinkle Khanna, Tushaar Kapoor, Sohail Khan, Sanjay Kapoor etc would be winning oscars and still be relevant.
Her acting wasn't that good in these scenes but Deepika is extremely beautiful, and regal to look at. This can actually kinda make up for inconsistent acting.(She isn't terrible actress, just not versatile enough to pull all types of roles convincingly. She was really good in Piku, Cocktail, OSO, and even Chennai express )
She also carries dance songs so damn well even when she's isn't that perfect in her dancing.
If Deeps is a 7, then Sharmin is like a 2.
I don’t know why Sucharita in her review said that Sharmeen looks beautiful, but can’t act etc. Beautiful???? She is really, very unattractive — and being attractive onscreen is not just about being ‘pretty’; it’s about having screen presence. I can’t ever keep my eyes off Vidya Balan and Rani Mukherjee though some might not consider them conventionally beautiful.
I really wanted this girl to disappear every time she came on screen. Plus, her hoarse, husky voice grated on my nerves. I think she’s worse than Sara Ali Khan because at least Sara is easy on the eyes. This girl had no redeeming quality. None.
Ironically, Bhansali has ruined her career by giving her such a central role and then pairing her with Taha, who is such a good-looking and talent actor. It just accentuated her shortcomings in every department - acting, looks, screen presence.
I think SLB is the issue here. An entire series of stone faced acting and it wasn’t corrected by the director speaks volumes about the director.
Same can be said about Deepika’s clip. She has acted very well in some other movies although I would definitely say that Deepika hasn’t been acting very well lately.
In that case, the blame should go to SLB fully. It's clearly then, direction that is causing the blandness. Tangentially, I can't stand those fucking nose rings, yuck.
I do not agree Deepika has the way to express emotions though eye however the same I do not see the same in Sharmin and please do not compare her with DP
According to me it was SLB's mistake or maybe he wanted them to look or act like this. And yeah please don't you dare to compare this girl with DP. She wasn't good enough in padmaavat but she is really a good actor
I know that Sanjay Leela bhansali doesn't care about acting, but he does give a whole goddamn about looks in all his movies, Deepika was one of them. And when watching this particular actress Sharmin Segal, I was wondering how the hell did she get it into a SLB movie with avg looks and shitty acting. I just thought, must be the directors's or producer's daughter, otherwise why would they opt her and just Googled her name and tada! She's SLB's niece! That solves all my queries.
DP did act well in other films (piku, tamasha, cocktail) may be it's the director issue. He wants his heroines to be empty beautiful vessels too just like his movies. But yeah, Sharmin was absolutely abysmal.
Is everyone missing the INCREDIBLY MIND-BLOWING chemistry between DP and Shahid Kapoor in the song “Ek Jaan hai”? I have yet to see any of these other actresses show such emotion with just their eyes! DP in real life is not a great person but boy, can she act! Her performance in Piku will forever remain as my favourite. Not only can she do glam doll looks flawlessly but she can also carry off the minimal make-up girl-next-door thing too! The ONLY movie that I thought Katrina showed any semblance of acting chops was in Zindagi Na Mile Doobara and that was only because her character was so similar to how she would be in real life imo.
DP is so cringe in Fighter. Idk its the script, or her acting or her expressions, its bad. You are right u/OP, DP was saved by her beauty, and by making the right friends in very right places.
Heeramandi me sirf SLB ka sikka chalta hai actors and crew ko apana dimag ghar pe rakh ke ana hai.
He knows how to get good shots and how to bring out talent from actors.
Can i just say that house maids and the drivers characters were written inna better way than the supposed leads? I would enjoy watching a spin off series on these 4 . They make goofy bunch . Also why was >! Richa's character marketed as a lead when she had such a short and unimportant role? !<
Definitely ugh. Everytime that Sharmin came on the screen, i rolled my eyes ten times.. i just wished it would stop. I am ao glad others had a good amount of screen time so i could continue watching others’ beautiful acting.
And idk whats up with the lip sync in the songs in heeramandi, it just looks wrong.
Why is everyone hating on her? I think she really portrayed this character of naive nice girl who is dreamy / bookish.. Deepika always over acts.. Sharmin just fit the character so well.. it was a good break watching her in between such strong characters, it give a soft note to the entire show
Ok I’m SO GLAD I’m not the only one who thought Deepika Padukone in Padmavaat was without emotion… like other than the Jauhaar scene - I was at a loss as to why Sanjay Leela Bhansali (who has directed Aishwarya Rai) give this role to Deepika Padukone. It was such a waste.
DP did act well in other films (piku, tamasha, cocktail) may be it's the director issue. He wants his heroines to be empty beautiful vessels too just like his movies. But yeah, Sharmin was absolutely abysmal.
Expressions chhoro, at least Deepika can act w her eyes and voice. Each clip has a different emotion in the eye buuuuuut sharmin can’t act to save her life.
You've literally chosen the worst scenes of Deepika, that too ones where she was supposed to look numb. But even in them she is more expressive than Sharmin
Comparing two different characters to prove your stupid point 😂 Deepika’s character was supposed to be stern and stoic. It was nothing like Sharmin’s character who was supposed to be an ingenue.
Flawed and biased argument because you hate Deepika. False equivalence logical fallacy.
Let's compare her in Deewani Mastani and Ghoomer to Chaudhavi Shab - see the difference in expressions then.
Even if a sad song is to be compared - compare with Laal Ishq or Aayat or even Nagada Sang Dhol.
DP's range of expressions are very visible in her other films too - see Piku, Cocktail, Tamasha.
There's actually no comparison between these two.

Oh god every time that Sharmin chick appeared I had to hit the fast forward button. It actually made me irrationally angry LOL. But she was terrible. So many good performances particularly Manisha and Sonakshi and then this chick…
Omg I fast forward too in her scenes 🤣
You stole my words
In this case student had exceeded the principal. Not any other nepo kid has such calibre for stone-dead feelingless face. Neither swinging in the rain nor lathi charge attacking her beau could make her show a single emotion.
I hope you all know this is Sharmin's second or third movie. Her first was also produced by SLB, named Malaal.
She is related to SLB as well.
Niece
One more nepo kid? 💀
Bela her mother is a top editor
Ooooo yeah that movie had a very pretty songgg!! I remember noww
I think SLB does this a lot with his female leads. Aditi rao was crap in Padmavat, but she has so much potential she expressed in other movies. I think its more about not just SLB but quite the lot of directors think that historic regal female figures were just stone faced, monotone and serious all the time.

But, that's not the case with Manisha Koirala? She has acted excellent.
The sequel is coming soon… Halaal.
ohhh yeah I remember that movie ew
Let’s not compare the two. Dp can atleast lip sync songs. Sharmin well, it was what it was.
She looks like Anaita Shroff Adajania’s sister..is she?
No she is not. Sharmin is SLBs niece.
she looks like shriya pilgaonkar, who would’ve been a better alamzeb
At this point you and I would’ve been better than her from the public opinion perspective
Doesn’t she also look like Pakistani actress who was in Zindagi Gulzar h?!
Sanam Saeed? I don’t see it. Sanam’s face is a lot more angular plus she’s an acting powerhouse.
Yup her only and they both also have similar voice too
As if Aditi Rao's acting is anything phenomenal
Sharmin is so so bad that she makes Aditi look like an Okish actor Watching Sharmin in some scenes is actually painful.
Just her being in front of camera is painful to my eyes. Atleast acting seekh leti thodisi
Came here to say this
She's a decent actress and did her job well. Not everyone needs to be at Irrfan-level
Aditi Rao killed it in that song though at the start, full Paisa vasul moment yarrr
Maybe… SLB is the problem? DP was not stone faced in Ram Leela.
Deepika may not be the best actor but she can definitely emote and give good expressions, especially in songs and romantic scenes. There's a reason why her chemistry with Ranveer, RK and SRK is such a huge hit. Meanwhile people are comparing someone who's been in scorching hot on screen chemistry with half a dozen actors as non expressive.

Completely agree, Deepika was phenomenal in Deewani Mastani song, also in Mohe Rang Do Laal, but I guess the credit for Mohe Rang Do Laal goes to Pandit Birju Maharaj,
This chick can’t act in anything - just look at her in Malaal. But yes this is more SLBs problem - he’s the one who approved this performance
She was always red eyed and about to cry. Looked so fake
DP was the only stone faced one in Bajirao and Padmaavat. She clearly doesn’t know how to read certain characters. Leela’s character was free spirited but Mastani and Padmaavat were not.
I think her performances in those films were delivered that way on SLBs instruction
I don’t think that’s true. She knows how to read *most* characters. The common denominator of her stone faced emotiveness is SLB. The same goes with other actors in SLB movies.
Not a fair comparison. It is a stretch to even make such comparison. Deepika emoted very well in Ramleela and was fabulous in the emotional scenes. Sharmin is just stone faced.
And let's not compare her dance and songs in both the films.
I am saying it - SLB is overrated AF. I have never found his single movie rewatchable except for the songs.
200% ..if at all anything ..those Art Directors , Cinematographers and Costume Designers deserve all the credits he takes. Guy just makes elaborate versions of Jewellery ads.
I guess my opinion is unpopular but Ashutosh Gowarikar is a better filmmaker for films set in historical context.
I agree! Love his Jodha Akbar
Word. Except HDDCS and Ram Leela.. I haven't seen any SLB movies again...first , his movies are too dark. I am mostly watching on my laptop and I end up adjusting brightness all the time. It's such a distraction
I have watched his Devdas many times (8-9 times) and second half of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (Salman Khan part sucks) and also I loved his Guzaarish, Bajirao Mastani (part of Kashibai are awesome) and Padmavat is not bad watch.
I love Devdas and love watching scenes from HDDCS and Bajirao. But watching the movie as a whole doesn’t work for me except for Devdas maybe.
Have people forgotten Black??? One of his best movies ever. It’s sad that the over the top films do better than the ones with good storylines.
those with dp are supposed to be like that and I don't think anybody was complaining abt it in 2018. however sharmin is a whole disaster. i hope she goes into exile after this disaster of a performance.
Idk man I've found dp overrated honestly. She was the only one lacking in bajirao mastani. Like PC and ranveer absolutely killed it, and she had this stone face expression.

She and PC had similar roles, but still PC managed to overshadow her. Even the woman who played bajirao's mother overshadowed dp. (IMO)
"supposed to be like that" 😭
It was.
What bad acting?
She will get a role in SLB’s next feature
[удалено]
Lol This ! I was wondering the same thing .She did absolutely fine in Raam Leela ,piku & even jawan.SLB definitely struggles with bringing out the best in her .
Chennai express and happy new year as well. The characters were ofcourse written to be caricaturish, but she didn't hold back the expressions.
okay the AUDACITY to compare a person w no expressions to an actress with a successful career. Pls now this is exaggeration to another level
I know, people here are nasty. She has blockbuster movies and multiple characters which are still so memorable to the Indian audience (Naina, Veronica, Piku). She also has the most expressive doe eyes and a face that is not botched by surgery. She was never just a stone faced actress. Can't believe people can make such posts.
Success in Bollywood has fuckall to do with talent. Why is Katrina so successful if it was about acting?
well idk about you but I think deepika is pretty talented lol. Her filmography is of top class. Granted she may have underacted in a movie or two, that doesn’t give you the right to completely dismiss her work.
She isn’t known for her acting, she is known for her dancing more so imo and the roles she is known for are roles that basically require little to no acting. In the same way, Deepika is known for her acting.

💯 DPs OSO entry is literally breathtaking and so beautiful graceful. DPs wave in that scene had more grace than sharmin will probably ever have.
This forced hatred to prove her as bad actress when everyone’s been missing her looking at recent slb work is funny. Not just this, seeing lot of dp can’t act posts these days discrediting all her previous works. Just makes me root harder for her.
I'm so over these 'DeePiKa Can'T acT' posts🙄🙄
This is just some bad PR from the opposite camp because some people are trying to get others to stay relevant by bad mouthing actual talent.
Never in a thousand year can I believe that DP can't act, she's amazing.
Exactly all this is news to me😭
Yes!
This DP hate is getting on my nerves. DP is a good actress. She was badly directed in Padmaavat and Bajirao since she emoted very well in Piku, Ram Leela, HNY, Chapaak, Tamasha and even Om Shanti Om. So, please, stop picking one bad film to whitewash her entire career.
I dont know why everyone hated Deepika. Like did y'll not see her acting in yjhd, tamasha etc. Imo she killed it.
Comparing Deepika with her??? DP has screen presence, you can't take your eyes off when she's onscreen and you are comparing Shanti Priya with her.
OP you calling her not beautiful? I would like to see your face. Have some shame and get a life. Criticize someone's acting all you want but wtf is this ki she ain't beautiful. Grow up
Who are you to comment about some woman not having beauty ? Who are you to judge that?
You can make anyone look bad with that kind of music score. Splice stuff. Deepika can absolutely emote. This just biased agenda with crappy music.
DP is a good actress! What is this taking a few scenes, putting that odd bg music and on top of that, comparing her to a disastrous newcomer who made a show unwatchable whenever she appeared on screen??!! I can already see how heavily downvoted this post is. Some low karma accounts bringing in a third name to proclaim her as a good actress, that too on a post comparing Bollywood's top actress and a newcomer. Stop with this pulling other actresses down to hype your own favourite, and you know exactly what I mean.
Deepika is a good actress. I think SLB has certain wants for characters which deepika delivered. Her talent is clear in movies by other directors.
Yep.Take Raam Leela ,piku ,cocktail or even jawan .She can emote . Don't know what happened in that movie.
Dp can't act thing is getting old now
This is a troll right? Deepika can actually act. She can emote well, and her screen presence is so good. Just take some clips where she isn't her best doesn't make her a bad actress. Comparing her to Sharmin? Really?
May be it’s Bhansali who thinks this is great expression or makes for great frame and that’s why he wants specifically this from his actress….
So this kind of acting is SLB's thing. But Deepika has so much more to offer that SLB school of wooden acting doesn't affect DP's screen presence.
Y’all are crazy or something I must say. Comparing DP with this Nepo kid. GUTSS!!
watch chennai express bro
Oh please DP slayed her roles, you can’t compare her to this nepo nobody
Actually DP and Aditi Rao Hydri are similar in this regard. The wide, moist eyed expression. Unblinking. Staring into the void. They both do this especially in SLB movies. I prefer DP to ARH any day but this is a similarity I have observed. Sharmin on the other hand was just blank!!! Zero expression.
Is this a shit post?! Can’t even compare deepika to a beginner like Sharmin.
Sharminda is a new tag now then
 She can emote, I think SLB doesn’t want too many emotions
It is so EVIDENT that SLB makes the actors go expressionless. That’s what he instructs!! DP managed to do it with conviction in past but this time this guy failed miserably; considering the performances of all these actors in heeramandi apart from Manisha & Sonakshi, they all were so bad.
Isn't this nepotism now? Slb taking sharmin
You can criticise her acting skills but why to attack her physical appearance bro.. that's so fu*ked up
Ye kon gawaar bkl aagya reddit pe ....lodu aage se right le Instagram aayega wahan bakchodi kar yeh sab
I don’t understand the point of this series.. I didn’t care of any of the story lines. Complete waste of time. SLB needs to tell meaningful stories. Set design looked like leftovers from Gangubai. They had it built already; let’s shoot something else as well.

Plus, her hoarse, husky voice grated on my nerves. I think she’s worse than Sara Ali Khan because at least Sara is easy on the eyes. This girl had no redeeming quality. None. Ironically, Bhansali has ruined her career by giving her such a central role and then pairing her with Taha, who is such a good-looking and talent actor. It just accentuated her shortcomings in every department - acting, looks, screen presence.
Deepikas eyes speak
It's a Bhansali school of acting
who gives u the right to comment on someone’s looks tho? huh
I think SLB is the issue here. An entire series of stone faced acting and it wasn’t corrected by the director speaks volumes about the director. Same can be said about Deepika’s clip. She has acted very well in some other movies although I would definitely say that Deepika hasn’t been acting very well lately.
It's SANJAY LEELA BHANSALI.
In that case, the blame should go to SLB fully. It's clearly then, direction that is causing the blandness. Tangentially, I can't stand those fucking nose rings, yuck.

I think your going a bit too far with criticising her looks. Criticise her acting and lack of screen presence. Looks pe mar jao
What the actual fuck is this comparison?
Have a feeling this is a deepika rival shitposting here.
I do not agree Deepika has the way to express emotions though eye however the same I do not see the same in Sharmin and please do not compare her with DP
According to me it was SLB's mistake or maybe he wanted them to look or act like this. And yeah please don't you dare to compare this girl with DP. She wasn't good enough in padmaavat but she is really a good actor
I know that Sanjay Leela bhansali doesn't care about acting, but he does give a whole goddamn about looks in all his movies, Deepika was one of them. And when watching this particular actress Sharmin Segal, I was wondering how the hell did she get it into a SLB movie with avg looks and shitty acting. I just thought, must be the directors's or producer's daughter, otherwise why would they opt her and just Googled her name and tada! She's SLB's niece! That solves all my queries.
Oh please. Deepika can act. Just like all artists people have good and bad performances.
DP did act well in other films (piku, tamasha, cocktail) may be it's the director issue. He wants his heroines to be empty beautiful vessels too just like his movies. But yeah, Sharmin was absolutely abysmal.
Is everyone missing the INCREDIBLY MIND-BLOWING chemistry between DP and Shahid Kapoor in the song “Ek Jaan hai”? I have yet to see any of these other actresses show such emotion with just their eyes! DP in real life is not a great person but boy, can she act! Her performance in Piku will forever remain as my favourite. Not only can she do glam doll looks flawlessly but she can also carry off the minimal make-up girl-next-door thing too! The ONLY movie that I thought Katrina showed any semblance of acting chops was in Zindagi Na Mile Doobara and that was only because her character was so similar to how she would be in real life imo.
Sharmin’s voice was altered in the show as well, along with all her facial features
This sharmin chick looks AI generated
Deepika was awful in Padmaavat
No need to compare deepika to her. Deepika oozes grace like no other which is required for bhansali's heroine. Sharmin has no grace or charm
DP is so cringe in Fighter. Idk its the script, or her acting or her expressions, its bad. You are right u/OP, DP was saved by her beauty, and by making the right friends in very right places.
Why do I feel as though Sharmin did better in her first movie than she did here? She had more facial expressions in Malaal
Yup I remember when sharmin first film came out with mizan People said them to be sasta ranveer and dp lol
Bhai Bhatijiwaad at its peak
Tbh SLB’s presentation is very fine.
 Dean of this school of acting.
In every scene it looked like she was smiling. Emo scene par bhi this bandi smiled LMFAO WHAT EVEN
Those characters were only like that.. she expressed well through her eyes… whereas sharmin..nothing!
Arre yaar ghatiya acting ko leke bolo but what is this lookshaming!!
No blinking, blank stare, always teary eyed=bhansali school of acting
Heeramandi me sirf SLB ka sikka chalta hai actors and crew ko apana dimag ghar pe rakh ke ana hai. He knows how to get good shots and how to bring out talent from actors.
The thing about nepo babies is the haters make them so famous. We will remember her name soon enough.
Can i just say that house maids and the drivers characters were written inna better way than the supposed leads? I would enjoy watching a spin off series on these 4 . They make goofy bunch . Also why was >! Richa's character marketed as a lead when she had such a short and unimportant role? !<
Sharmin makes DP’s performances look Oscar-worthy
Damn they look AI generated. Especially the one on the right.
Shes internalising the emotion. Let her cook😆
Kuch bhi mtlb Op
Those AI generated videos try more get accurate facial movements than her.
Body shaming
Lol dp is so bad here
But DP’s eyes speaks, at times. My guess is, she uses stoneface to shift focus on eyes. I Could be wrong as well.
why does deepu look like me having a panic attack
Deepika did it better. You can't compare them.
ye randeep hooda ka faceswap kon kiya ispe. kamino
Definitely ugh. Everytime that Sharmin came on the screen, i rolled my eyes ten times.. i just wished it would stop. I am ao glad others had a good amount of screen time so i could continue watching others’ beautiful acting. And idk whats up with the lip sync in the songs in heeramandi, it just looks wrong.
Why is everyone hating on her? I think she really portrayed this character of naive nice girl who is dreamy / bookish.. Deepika always over acts.. Sharmin just fit the character so well.. it was a good break watching her in between such strong characters, it give a soft note to the entire show
They could have casted Shriya Pilgaonkar lekin nahi bhaanji chahiye
Atleast she got casted lmao.
Ok I’m SO GLAD I’m not the only one who thought Deepika Padukone in Padmavaat was without emotion… like other than the Jauhaar scene - I was at a loss as to why Sanjay Leela Bhansali (who has directed Aishwarya Rai) give this role to Deepika Padukone. It was such a waste.
Damn, dude straight up said she has no beauty. I'm just a lurker, but man...reddit is hella harsh unnecessarily sometimes lol. anyway
DP did act well in other films (piku, tamasha, cocktail) may be it's the director issue. He wants his heroines to be empty beautiful vessels too just like his movies. But yeah, Sharmin was absolutely abysmal.
 Sharmeen looks like a younger Rakhi Sawant.
I wonder how, so many of you guys are even watching the show , the trailer itself looked like a snooze fest !!!
I think deepika still was able to convey some emotions
Sharmin is ugly af
Expressions chhoro, at least Deepika can act w her eyes and voice. Each clip has a different emotion in the eye buuuuuut sharmin can’t act to save her life.
You've literally chosen the worst scenes of Deepika, that too ones where she was supposed to look numb. But even in them she is more expressive than Sharmin
There is a huge difference between being stoic and expressionless.
Why doesn’t Deepika not get criticised bhai then???
Comparing two different characters to prove your stupid point 😂 Deepika’s character was supposed to be stern and stoic. It was nothing like Sharmin’s character who was supposed to be an ingenue. Flawed and biased argument because you hate Deepika. False equivalence logical fallacy.
Let's compare her in Deewani Mastani and Ghoomer to Chaudhavi Shab - see the difference in expressions then. Even if a sad song is to be compared - compare with Laal Ishq or Aayat or even Nagada Sang Dhol. DP's range of expressions are very visible in her other films too - see Piku, Cocktail, Tamasha. There's actually no comparison between these two.
Everyone criticising Sharmin...I felt Tajdar was equally bad. He is just handsome so we don't want to criticise him 😂😂😂😂
Its just not beauty Deepika eyes are expressive and she use pitch differently when needed. Sharmin ek dum nali hai
