Sharmin Sehgal, portraying Alamzeb in the much-anticipated series ‘Heeramandi,’ revealed her intense preparation for the role, including watching ‘Pakeezah’ 15-16 times. Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, ‘Heeramandi’ has garnered global acclaim for its compelling storytelling and stunning aesthetics.
Set in the pre-independence era, the series explores the lives of courtesans in the Heera Mandi district. Sehgal shared, “When you work with Sanjay Sir, you can’t overprepare because he turns every scene on its head,” Sehgal explained. While talking about her preparation, she says, “There was Urdu, there was Dance. I must have seen ‘Pakeezah’ 15-16 times. I had never watched a movie like ‘Pakeezah’ before, and then I watched it. It took me a while to get through it. Meena ji was one of my main inspirations! One of the looks that she used to give in ‘Pakeezah,’ looking into nothingness. That is what I tried to bring to Alamzeb’s character.”
