Sharmin Segal is basking in the positive reviews for her role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Heeramandi.” “I’m just thankful people are noticing me,” she says, appreciating both praise and criticism.
Segal acknowledges the potential impact of audience reactions but emphasizes her focus on both positive and negative feedback. “I’ve been working on my mental health for a very long time,” she says. “It’s a constant dialogue with yourself.

Segal highlights the importance of self-reflection and filtering negativity. “If it’s constructive, then yes, I am very open to listening to it,” she says, “but if it’s not, then you’ve got to focus on the amount of love. My DMs are filled with a lot of love.”

“Kalyug Was Titled Blue Film & Everyone Rejected It”
In an exclusive interview with Koimoi, Ssmilly Suri shared how no one in Bollywood was willing to take on the role in Kalyug that ultimately became her memorable Jiya Dhadak Dhadak appearance.
Ssmilly had a brief but notable role in Kalyug, though she was not the initial choice for the part. At that time, she was merely assisting Bhatt films, but fate intervened, and she was offered the role that no one else in Bollywood wanted.
Reflecting on her debut in the film industry with Kalyug, Ssmilly Suri said, “While I was assisting Mahesh Bhatt Sahab, I realized I enjoyed being in front of the camera. So I auditioned for Bhatt Saab. There was a film called Blue Film back then, and they offered me a role that no one else wanted to do. Honestly, it was a very small role. Later, the song Jiya Dhadak Dhadak was added. They asked where it should be placed in the movie, and it just happened. I believe destiny plays a very important role.” Read more

Sooraj Barjatya and Kartik Aaryan in Talks for New Family Drama Collaboration
Director Sooraj Barjatya is in talks with actor Kartik Aaryan for his next project, a drama centered around nuclear families.

Now, Barjatya is eyeing Kartik Aaryan for the lead role, believing that Kartik’s on-screen innocence makes him a suitable choice for a new-age Prem. The discussions are in the early stages, with one round of meetings already completed. Further discussions are expected to resume after the release of Kartik’s upcoming film, “Chandu Champion,” on June 14. This potential collaboration is highly anticipated, as it promises to combine Barjatya’s classic storytelling with Kartik’s contemporary appeal.
