While there has been continuous gossip about Sharmin Segal bagging the role in SLB's Heeramadni, in an interview with Firstpost, she talked about her preparations for her role in the series. The actress mentioned her on-screen role was totally different from what she is in her real life. The actress stated that the first thing that was the hardest for her was to slip into some heavy clothes that her character had worn in the series because she is the kind of person who generally is comfortable in jeans and PJs.
In the same interview, Sharmin mentioned that it's next to impossible to get into the mind of the director, Bhansali as he just remains ten steps beyond his own imagination. In the same interview, Sharmin added that Priyanka Chopra was an inspiration for her, as she taught the former how to go in and out of character. Sharmin also added that she thinks she has done justice to her role as standing out SLB's expectations is not an easy task.
