This Doesn’t Jingle My Bells

Drumrolls, please! 🥁

Welcome to another hot, spicy, and sizzling piece of Bollywood dish, served fresh by your favourite cinema snoop – yours truly, Bollywood Newshound Nisha! 🕵️‍♀️

Today, we are diving headfirst into the glitz, glam, and sometimes, not-so-glam side of Hindi cinema. Buckle up, folks, because we’re about to spill some serious chai. ☕

Take One: The Farida Jalal Fiasco 🎬

The legendary and evergreen actress Farida Jalal, who recently starred in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi, seems to have her feathers ruffled. And why, you ask? Well, it’s due to the trolling of her co-star, Sharmin Segal. In an interview with India Today, Jalal expressed her unhappiness about the situation, saying, "I am not happy about this. People should be kind."

According to her, Segal’s character in Heeramandi was not intended to be loud or boisterous. "What were you expecting?" she retorted to the trolls. She defended Segal, stating that her character was a poet who fell in love with Taj. Is it just me, or is that a mic-drop moment? 🎤⬇️

Take Two: Sharmin Segal’s Trolling Troubles 🎞️

Sharmin Segal, who played Alamzeb in Heeramandi, has been on the receiving end of a barrage of trolling for her performance. But like a true Bollywood diva, she took it in her stride. She told Pinkvilla, "If it’s constructive, then yes I am very open to listening to it. But if it’s not, then you’ve to focus on the amount of love." Now that’s what I call a level-headed response! 🙌

Lights, Camera, Action: A Peek into Heeramandi 🎥

Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, set in British India, narrates the tale of Mallikajaan’s (Manisha Koirala) trials when Fareedan (Sonakshi Sinha), her old rival’s daughter, makes a comeback. The series boasts a star-studded cast, including Richa Chadha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sharmin Segal, and Sanjeeda Shaikh, along with Fardeen Khan, Shekhar Suman, Adhyayan Suman, and Taha Shah.

Nisha’s Nutshell 🥜

So, what have we learned today, dear readers? Well, first and foremost, don’t mess with Farida Jalal. She’s a fierce defender of her co-stars and isn’t afraid to take on the trolls. Also, remember, each character in a film has its own unique purpose. Not every role needs to be loud and boisterous to have an impact. And lastly, when in doubt, remember Sharmin Segal’s wise words – focus on the love! ❤️
