Nobody can make ‘Pakeezah’ again: Tajdar
I can't relate to Sharmin's statement on nothingness: Tajdar
Meena Kumari’s character has a certain tragic depth: Richa
Bollywood actress Sharmin Segal has had a tough time navigating her media interaction ever since she was on the receiving end of trolling by a section of netizens for her performance in Heeramanadi. Her performance was deemed as lifeless by a segment of the audience. Sharmin however provided a defence to this by stating that she was influenced by veteran Bollywood actress Meena Kumari’s performance in Pakeezah which was released in 1972 to portray a certain sense of ‘nothingness.’ Meena Kumari’s stepson Tajdar Amrohi however did not agree with her on this point. “Nobody can make ‘Pakeezah’ again. Neither Meena Kumari nor Kamal Amrohi can ever be born again. I don’t want to say much about this since Bhansali is a big fan of my father Kamal Amrohi. In every film of his, Bhansali tries to take shots in a very similar way as my father did. Once, he had come to Kamalistan Studio, he asked where my Dad used to sit, where my Dad walked. Out of great respect, he touched the ground where my Dad sat. That was 15 years ago, and after that I never met him again. I don’t know Sharmin. But no, I can’t relate to her statement on nothingness,” Tajdar said in an interaction with Zoom.

Bollywood actress Richa Chadha who also featured in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s directorial- Heeramandi which released on Netflix also claimed to have taken inspiration from Meena Kumari’s performance in Pakeezah. “Carefully observing, learning from and taking lessons from Meena Kumari ji’s character in Pakeezah was a truly enriching and deeply transforming experience for me ahead of shooting for Heeramandi. in the movie, Pakeezah, Meena Kumari’s character has a certain tragic depth and complexity that resonated with Lajjo, the character that I play in the show,” Richa said in an interaction with Pinkvilla.
