Further revealing her interpretation of Alamzeb’s character, Sharmin said that she is very open to constructive criticism. Malaal actress exclaimed that she played Alamzeb’s character just the way Sanjay Leela Bhansali wanted her to play.
Segal said, “She is quiet, she is nuanced, she is innocent, she is vulnerable to that degree, and I think it stands out a little differently because she is not a tawaif.
