Did you know Salman Khan asked ‘Heeramandi’ actor Sharmin Segal to marry him? Here’s how she responded

Sharmin Segal, known for her role in the Netflix series ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar,’ shared details of her initial encounter with Salman Khan in an interview with ETimes. She disclosed that Salman had once proposed to her. Segal, who is filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali's niece, portrayed Manisha Koirala's daughter in his digital debut ‘Heeramandi.’

When asked about the first celebrity she encountered, Sharmin reminisced about meeting Salman Khan during the filming of ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ (Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 1999 movie). Recalling the moment when she was around two or three years old, she shared how Salman jokingly proposed marriage to her, and she replied with a resolute 'No!'

‘I said no to everything’

Sharmin noted that at such a tender age, she naturally didn't understand the notion of marriage and tended to reject everything. She, who tied the knot with businessman Aman Mehta in November 2023, further mentioned, ‘I still fangirl over O O Jaane Jaana (Salman's famous song from his 1998 film Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya) so let's not even go there. I was about two years old! I said no to everything!’
