Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s niece, Sharmin Segal is making her acting debut in the upcoming film Malaal, produced by Bhansali Pictures. Directed by Mangesh Hadawale, the film also stars Jaaved Jaaferi’s son, Mizaan. Up next, Sharmin has been signed for two more projects with the production house.

Prerna Singh, CEO, Bhansali Productions, said, “In a time where character roles are more mainstream and audiences crave the pure pleasure of story, launching and promoting new talent felt right as newness is the only change. With Sharmin’s launch, we at BPPL are just being true to SLB’s vision and we have signed her for three films.”

On commencing her journey as an actor, Sharmin shared, “When I decided to become an actor what excited me the most was the idea that I would feel emotions and experience, experiences I wouldn’t normally have every day. I’m happy that this launch has allowed me to do that, making it a difficult, but fulfilling experience.”
