Meet The Brilliant Supporting Cast Of Heeramandi That Deserves More Praise For Their Performances

While everyone is talking about the lead cast of Heeramandi and their performances, the supporting cast did a fabulous job too. However, they didn't get the recognition that they deserved. These below-mentioned actors weaved magic on the screen when they appeared in their respective roles.

The talented supporting cast of Heeramandi

1. Shruti Sharma as Saima (Alamzeb's maid)

Netflix

Shruti Sharma's performance as Alamzeb's maid was so good that some people think she deserved the main role. Many even said that she should have been cast in the role of Alamzeb instead of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's niece Sharmin Segal who is getting trolled for her "expressionless acting". Sharma has previously worked in projects including Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya, Pagglait and Namak Issk Ka, among others.

2. Indresh Malik as Ustaad Ji

Indresh Malik was simply outstanding in his role as Ustaad Ji. The popular face on television who has featured in shows like Udaariyan and Madhubala has also done movies like Fanney Khan (that starred Aishwarya Rai Bachchan). He was also seen in Amazon Prime Video's popular web series Paatal Lok. This wasn't the first time he featured in a Sanjay Leela Bhansali movie, he was also seen in Alia Bhatt starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi. Ever since Heeramandi has been released, Indresh Malik is getting praise from all corners for his brilliant portrayal of a queer character.

3. Farida Jalal as Qudsia Begum (Tajdar's grandmother)
