Nushrratt Bharuccha defends moving model aside at Lakmé Fashion Week after backlash: ‘I was told from backstage…'
Bollywood actor Nushrratt Bharuccha walked at Lakmé Fashion Week 2025 for NIF Global: The Runway in March. A video from the event surfaced online, showing the actor moving aside a fellow model on the runway. She received significant backlash on social media. Now, in an interview with Yuvaa, Nushrratt has finally addressed the incident.

The video in question showed Nushrratt making space for herself in the centre of the ramp by moving aside another model. As she reached the end of the ramp, where the models were posing, Nushrratt moved aside a girl, and the two smiled at each other. Moments later, she asked two other girls to stand beside her, completely blocking the previous model from view. The clip sparked criticism of Nushrratt's conduct on the runway, with many accusing her of 'showing attitude'.
Responding to the backlash and explaining her actions, Nushrratt said, "She wasn't even a model—she was one of the designers, one of the children from the NIF class, who didn't know about ramp shows or centre stage. What was I supposed to do? She was standing in the centre, there was loud music, and I was told from backstage, 'Please make your space and take your position.' So how do I make space? Forget being a showstopper—any model who walks knows that you walk to centre stage, then turn and walk back. That's basic."

Meanwhile, Nushrratt was last seen in Vishal Furia's horror film Chhorii 2. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Vikram Malhotra, and Jack Davis, the film is a sequel to Chhorii (2021), and also features Soha Ali Khan, Gashmeer Mahajani, and Saurabh Goyal in key roles. While Soha and Nushrratt were praised for their performances, the lack of jump scares disappointed some fans. The film is available to watch on Prime Video. Nushrratt has yet to announce her next project.

Sooraj Pancholi On Salman Khan's House: ‘It Was Always Open; He Never Used To Lock'
Last Updated: Salman Khan continues to live under high security following ongoing death threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Sooraj Pancholi, who made his Bollywood debut in 2015 with Hero, produced by Salman Khan, has once again expressed his gratitude to the superstar. At the time of his launch, Sooraj was battling serious allegations in the Jiah Khan suicide case. Despite the controversy, Salman stood by him, a gesture that left a lasting emotional impact on the actor. In a recent interview with Instant Bollywood, Sooraj opened up about how Salman's unwavering kindness and generosity have made him one of the most respected figures in the industry. Sooraj revealed that Salman's house was famously open to everyone, quite literally. 'His house was always open earlier. There was a lock on the door, but it was never used. If you want to eat his food or open his fridge and take something, no one would stop you. Even if you want to have his protein shake or vitamins, nobody ever says no," he shared. The actor also recalled how Salman never made guests feel like outsiders. 'There were many times when he'd wake up in the morning, see someone there, and simply say, 'Oh, you're here, you had food,' and then quietly go about his own routine without disturbing anyone. His house is actually quite small," he added. Sooraj further shared that Salman's generosity extended to film sets too. 'Many people have said this and it's true that when his lunch or dinner is arranged, it's not just for him but for the entire unit. It all comes from his home, and very few people know that his food is meant for everyone. You can just walk in, pick up a plate, and eat, no one is ever denied," Sooraj said. He also praised Salman for sharing his gym setups with anyone interested in working out. 'The same goes for the gym he sets up on set or anywhere else. Anyone is welcome to use it and work out." Meanwhile, Salman continues to live under high security following ongoing death threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. In April 2024, gunshots were fired outside his residence, further intensifying the security around his Mumbai home. First Published:
