Jayati Bhatia: Sharmin has to move forward!!!

In an interview, Jayati spoke up about the row around her performance. She also had advice for her, and said she should go for “less is more” going forward.
Jayati supports Sharmin
During the interview, Jayati was asked about her opinion on the uproar against Sharmin’s performance in the show. “This is a very important phase in her career, in her life. After this, she will only get better. This is the first step, she’s done Malaal, but here she’s worked under the guidance for Mr Bhansali, under his direction, so this is her first thing. Now she has to prove herself,” she said. Here, Jayati defended Sharmin by saying that she took a different approach with her character, and that’s because some actors feel if they do more then it will become too much. She added that there is a chance that Sharmin thought it is better to take less is more approach.
Now, Jayati feels Sharmin needs to look ahead, and prove herself in her next project.
“In the next work that she does, she cannot rely on (the same acting style). She has to move forward from this, and show people, while remaining true to the story… She has to work harder now. She’s our darling, but as someone who trained her for her first film, I am very protective and fond of her. As a teacher, I can say that she needs to put the criticism aside and focus on her craft going forward,” she added.
