This year promises to be special for Sharmin Segal. The actor, who made her Bollywood debut with Malaal (2019), will soon foray into digital entertainment with filmmaker-uncle Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ambitious web series, Heeramandi. On the personal front, there is reason to cheer as well. Sources tell us that Sharmin, daughter of editor Bela Segal, is set to tie the knot by the year-end.

We hear Sharmin got engaged to a diamond merchant earlier this year. “The engagement took place in Ahmedabad. It is an arranged marriage. The couple will have a destination wedding in Italy by the end of 2023,” says a source. The shaadi will be a grand affair, and preparations are on in full swing.

For now though, the actor is busy shooting for the Netflix series, Heeramandi, which also stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha and Sanjeeda Shaikh. The drama, which marks Bhansali’s OTT debut, revolves around three generations of courtesans in pre-Independence India. Before this, Sharmin also featured in Atithi Bhooto Bhava (2022) opposite Pratik Gandhi.
