Taha Shah on Heeramandi, Sharmin being trolled, losing YJHD to Aditya Roy Kapur & casting couch

Taha Shah Badussha, who is currently basking in the success of Heeramandi, recently sat down for a heartfelt conversation with Galatta India host Rashita Sahni. In this candid chat, the actor, who is being tagged as the 'biggest find of 2024', opens up about his struggle, rejections and failure. He reveals why he couldn't make a mark in the industry despite working with big banners like Yash Raj Films & Dharma Productions. Shedding light on the overwhelming response he has been getting for his performance as Nawab Tajdar Baloch in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heermandi, Taha reveals how life has changed ever since the show released. Taha also talks about the brutal trolling of his on-screen love interest Sharmin Segal who has been called 'expressionless'. The 36-year-old actor also recalls a horrific casting couch experience and how he battled it! He then ends the conversation with his love for Shah Rukh Khan and how big of a deal it is for him to be compared to the superstar!

After watching Taajdar and now seeing Taha, I am completely enchanted by the profound maturity and depth you bring to your roles. Your grounded and deep-rooted essence captivates me, as it's clear you've poured your life's toughest experiences into your craft with such effortless grace. Watching you play Tajdaar felt like witnessing pure magic; the patriotism you embody is now a testament to your dedication to your art. You nurture your talent with such love and care, wearing it flawlessly and winning countless hearts, including mine. Your pure soul and human spirit shine through, turning vulnerabilities into unmatched strength. My love for you is beyond measure; I wish I could keep you close forever. Just as you are devoted to Shahrukh, I would cherish and adore you as my eternal source of strength and inspiration. I love you to infinity.

[@SwarupaRaniRokkam]

[@sidhimishra7736]

OTHER ACTORS PLAY HOWEVER THEY LIKE BUT - here we are talking about Sharmin. She did Good job, period. This shows on the screen. HER ACTING DO NOT COMPARE WITH OTHER ACTORS. She came up with her own body language and her own carrying out. Innocent of young girl who is just turning to teen age [how they are naive] that is what Sharmin played and yet mature enough to take blame and sacrifice herself and her life for country. Those days’ people were that patriotic. When you are at shock mode when Manisha gives hard punishments and Sharmin shows those shocked emotions and when she wanted to take the pain with a smile that also shows on screen. If you watch it again with positive lenses to see Sharmin Segal Mehta then you will notice that her character was of a innocent girl who never stepped out of that world so I think she maintain that innocent on her facial expressions and on her dances because they are showing her that she never wanted to be part of that world so she never liked wearing jewelry etc. she never learned dance so first time when she was forced into the mess her innocents shows on the screen. I THINK SHE DID GOOD JOB. In the Malaal movie: - I LOVED her scene at the ocean front with Shiva, her acting was superb. She is so expressive at that time and also when she and Shiva are at her friend house and next day she is telling Shiva that they cannot get married that perfect execution of the scene by Sharmin Segal Mehta. She is a fine art example. She is marvelous and excellent even in Heeramandi. Why stupid people are trolling her. Taha also did very good job.
