Amidst the buzz surrounding Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s debut web series, “Heeramandi,” actress Sharmin Segal has found herself at the center of controversy due to criticism of her acting. While Bhansali’s creation has captivated viewers with its grandeur and exploration of courtesan and kotha culture, Segal’s portrayal has faced significant backlash from audiences who struggled to connect with her character.
Reacting to the online trolling directed at her co-star, Richa Chadha recently addressed the issue in an interview with Pinkvilla. Chadha emphasized the audience’s right to express their opinions, whether positive or negative, regarding the show and its performances. However, she expressed concern over the trend of hurtful memes and online ridicule, noting the impact it can have on individuals.
Chadha emphasized the importance of kindness in online discourse, urging against cruelty in criticism. She emphasized the humanity of those targeted by online negativity, reminding audiences that everyone is susceptible to such treatment.
In a digital age where social media amplifies both praise and criticism, Chadha’s stance underscores the need for empathy and respect in online interactions. While constructive critique is valuable, Chadha advocates for a culture of compassion and understanding, recognizing the vulnerability of those in the public eye.
