In an exclusive conversation on Hauterrfly’s The Male Feminist, actress Nushrratt Bharuccha opened up about what it means to be an opinionated heroine in today’s film industry.

Main toh ab affect bhi nahi hoti hoon usse.”

She explained how over time, she has learnt not to let negativity impact her, adding, “They have said ‘ye aapka kaam nahi hai,’ ‘ye aapko samajh nahi aayega,’ ‘isme aap mat ghuso’ is the new takiya kalaam of them. And I’m like, okay. I don’t get offended by it and I don’t fight a battle.” Reflecting on her maturity and growth, Nushrratt revealed that she often seeks advice before reacting emotionally. “Sometimes I do falter, call people I look up to and say “Bhai, mujhe bahut gussa aa raha hai, mujhe ye karna hai’ Then I am given a world view advice, and they ask me if I still want to do it. They are right there to support me. And then I’m like thik hai, sochti hoon, fir I’m like yeah, it’s not my battle. Why am I making it a battle? It’s not worth it. Let it go.”
The actress also shared her frustration about how easily some people in the industry take offence even when she is simply trying to raise a genuine concern. “When they fall, I’m like maine sawal pucha tha apne aap ko smart dikhane ke liye nahi pucha tha. Aapko aapka talent question karne ke liye nahi pucha tha. Maine as an us pucha tha ki hamara product hai, kya ye problem aa sakti hai hamari picture mein.”
She emphasised that her intention has always been to safeguard the project and not to challenge anyone’s authority. “I am just voicing a concern, you look into it and make sure you’ve done damage control in case the situation goes that way. But aapne pehle hi offence le ke bol diya ‘Isme aap mat ghuso.’ Okay. Aap handle kar lena.”
