Did Sonal Chauhan just slam people trolling ‘Heeramandi’ star Sharmin Segal in her post? |

Sonal Chauhan’s recent Instagram story has turned into a huge discussion on Reddit. Sonal, in her note, is calling out netizens who engage in trolling people, in order to get more traction and engagement. She condemned the action of a certain section of netizens, who are ‘manipulating’ video to make a certain actor look bad. Her note has become a topic of discussion and the users are speculating that Sonal is hinting about the backlash ‘Heeramandi’ actor Sharmin Segal is receiving.
Sharmin has been receiving criticism for her performance in the web series, and also her ‘disrespectful’ statements to her co-stars Aditi Rao Hydari and Sanjeeda Sheikh during the promotional interviews for ‘Heeramandi’.
Sonal’s recent Instagram story was shared on Reddit, and it reads, “It is so sad to see how social media/some Instagram pages are making a villain out of a person just because trolling them at this point will bring them a little more traction and engagement.”

She also spoke about how the videos are manipulated in a certain way to make a particular actor look bad, “It is quite evident how videos are being manipulated to make this particular actor look bad or how statements out of the whole interview are being put there just because making them look bad is ‘trending’ right now. Don’t forget that you started this trend and you’re adding to it. You are adding to the narrative. One’s onscreen performance does not define their entire character or personality. She’s not the villain, you are.”
Sanjay Leela Bhansali casting his niece Sharmin Segal in the web series has also sparked debate around nepotism. ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’ has Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Richa Chadha, Shekhar Suman, Aditi Rao Hydari, and Sharmin Segal in the lead roles.
