"Sometimes I Wish I Looked Like Bella Hadid": Heeramandi Actor Sharmin Segal

"I love my body but there are days when Im not happy with the way I look," said Sharmin Segal

Actress Sharmin Segal, who played the role of a courtesan named Alamzeb in Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, has been on the receiving end of incessant trolls ever since the web series released on the streaming platform Netflix last month. Now, in a recent interview with News18, the Malaal star has talked about beauty standards and accepting one's own body. Sharmin said, “I love my body but there are days when I'm not happy with the way I look. I feel bloated sometimes. If I eat French fries for dinner, I feel bloated the very next day. Coming to terms with how you look is a slow process because your body keeps changing."

In the same interview, the actress also expressed her wish to look like international star Bella Hadid. She said, "Coming to terms with those changes that are out of our control and still be comfortable with yourself and work towards being the best version of yourself that makes you happy is tough. Sometimes you may work out every day but that might not show on your body. But you need to be okay with putting in that effort knowing that it may not show. And yes, sometimes I wish I looked like Bella Hadid."

Before venturing into acting, Sharmin assisted her uncle and ace director Sanjay Leela Bhansali in several films.
