Bhansali moves Richa Chadha for Sharmin Segal

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's web series 'Heeramandi' has garnered both acclaim and controversy since its release. While praised for its storytelling, the series faced backlash for historical inaccuracies and casting decisions, particularly Bhansali's choice of his niece, Sharmin Segal, for a prominent role. A viral video depicting Richa Chadha being moved aside for Segal in a cast photo intensified online discussions. The star-studded cast, featuring Manisha Koirala and Sonakshi Sinha, enriches the narrative. In an interview, Chadha explained her decision to prioritize character depth over screen time, emphasizing the importance of exploring new facets as an actor.
