Heeramandi: Sharmin Segal Auditioned Over 8760 Hours To Bag Alamzeb, Richa Chadha’s 99 Retakes For 1st Shot – 5 Unheard Stories From Sonakshi Sinha & Others
The Great Indian Kapil Show featured Heeramandi cast in its seventh episode, and it was a hilarious ride. What happens when a bunch of women sit down in a total panchayat zone? It’s ‘kahaaniyan and qisse’ overloaded. The same happened with this episode.
As Manisha Koirala, Sharmin Segal, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, and Sanjeeda Sheikh sat down for a fun conversation with Kapil Sharma, a lot of stories from their web series and working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali were spilled.
While Sharmin obviously had to take the big N question – getting cast in her Mama’s show and her nepotistic link – the others had brilliant personal experiences working on Heeramandi. We have picked up the best anecdotes shared by the actresses.

Aditi Rao Hydari ‘Chhoti’ Hai
The beautiful actress who plays Bibbojaan in Heeramandi revealed that her ghaghra was definitely heavier than her body weight. In fact, while she was performing her dancing scene in between the fountains, she used to disbalance, and her costume was drenched, till Bhansali said, “Wo uski height chhoti hai, usko thoda peeche karo!”
Sharmin Segal’s Audition
When Sharmin was asked if she had to audition for the show since Sanjay Leela Bhansali is her Mama, the actress revealed that she auditioned over 8760 hours to bag the role of Alamzeb! Yes, you read that right. The actress auditioned 14 times a year before she was selected for the role.

Bhansali’s Eye For Details
The actresses revealed how Sanjay Leela Bhansali has an eye for detail, and the scene was cut for the simplest of things. Sometimes, a crease in the curtain was not right; the other times, a little thread peeped from Sharmin’s costume. The actresses even claimed that Bhansali never let them rehearse since everything was changed at the last moment. There was no point rehearsing.

Sonakshi Sinha’s Single Take
