here’s no doubt today,
that Nushrat Bharucha
has proved her mettle.
The beautiful and spunky
‘Punchnama’ girl is ruling
the hearts of millions with her path-
breaking acting skills. The leading
lady of one of 2018’s biggest hits
‘Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety’ is also
a surety of success. Her roots in
acting go deep down to her father
who was a theatre artist himself
from whom she got the spine and
henceforth it was all sheer talent.
The smoldering hot Nushrat is
riding high on the success of her
latest film. Shot to prominence with
Pyaar Ka Punchnama and Pyaar Ka
Punchnama 2, which was a total
game changer for her, there was no
looking back and the rest is history.
In conversation with Harsha Prerna,
she shares her offbeat opinion on
the latest conjecture ‘Nepotism’
and all her future endeavours.
: Let’s start with your
forthcoming movie,
‘dream Girl’, tell us a
little about that film.
nushrat bharucha: If
you’ve seen the poster, it
says, Ayushmann Khurrana,
in and as Dream Girl. Now,
what that really means,
you’ll have to watch the
movie to find out!
: Looking around,
many of your
contemporaries are a
product of nepotism.
what’s your take on
nepotism?
I don’t really have a take
on it. For me, every actor,
every talented individual is
exactly who they are. It has
nothing to do with where
they come from and what
their surname is. I also feel
that people who come from
a known family name have
an additional pressure of
living upto certain legacies,
that we don’t. This is
unfair to them because
everyone deserves an equal
opportunity to create their
own identity. I understand
there are struggles on either
side, they face very different
struggles than people
who have just entered the
industry, but it’s a struggle
all the same. Art is very
intrinsic to who you are,
what you make out of it and
what you put out there. It
doesn’t come from lineage.
: what according to
you is the best and the
worst thing about being
in this profession?
I think the best thing is when
someone says you are a
great actor. Sometimes that
can also be the worst thing
because the same people,
sometimes think that maybe
you are acting even in real
life. Maybe when I have an
emotional outburst, when
I cry, they say it is so easy
for you to cry because you
are an actress and that just
really sucks. People are
not able to separate you
from your performances
and characters. They forget
that you are a person who
has real emotions too.
Only because people have
emotions, that is why actors
are able to portray it on
screen. If real emotions
didn’t exist then how could
we portray it?
