Nushrratt Bharuccha spills why she will always pick Ranbir Kapoor over Pyaar Ka Punchnama co-star Kartik Aaryan
Nushrratt Bharuccha's fascination, admiration, adulation — whatever you may want to call it — for Ranbir Kapoor is no big secret. In a recent chat with Shubhankar Mishra, the actor delved into detail over the fact that while the world now may be running after her long-time and recurring co-star Kartik Aaryan, but for her, it'll always be Ranbir over him.
She said, "Actually Kartik and I started together, we've done so much work together, ke aap uss nazar se phir, as an audience, dekh hi nahi paate usko, because then he's become a buddy...partner in crime, same-same co-actor, same-same acting kar rahe hain, wohi kar rahe hain. So I think that was the vibe I created with him, and we had. But Ranbir ko toh aise pardon pe dekha hai na, aise bade hote hue...arre".
For context, Kartik and Nushrratt have worked across as many as 4 films together — Pyaar ka Punchnama (2011), Akaash Vani (2013), Pyaar ka Punchnama 2 (2015) and Sonu ke Titu ki Sweety (2018). Not just this, they both held cameos in Ranbir and Shraddha Kapoor's Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar (2023), helmed by the director who got them together in the first place, Luv Ranjan.
We know Nushrratt is a true and blue fangirl owing to how beautifully she describes the moment in Ranbir's filmography when she fell in love with who he was an actor. She shared, "Rockstar was the one for me that really...I was like 'what has he done, what has he done'. There's a shot where he's standing under Khatara bhai's house, jab woh lost tha, mahino se usko koi dhundh nahi paa raha tha. Aur woh Sufi kapdon mein khada hota hai aur upar dekhta hai,...woh jo nazar hai, woh bohot mushkil hai. It's sublime acting, it's just another level of understanding the character that are bringing that out. Woh chote chote nuances aapko bata nahi sakta hai koi, aapko laane padte hain character mein".
So is Nushrratt appropriately "obsessed"? She thinks otherwise: "I don't think I'm obsessed. I think he's one person...and it's very difficult to believe me but I'm seriously saying this, mujhe uss insaan ki skill aur craft se pyaar hai. I just want to watch Ranbir Kapoor on screen. I just want to watch him act. I think I'm in love with his skill and craft more than who he is as a person, because honestly I don't know him as a person. Personally kaise...aap saalon tak logon ko nahi jaan paate. 6 din ki shooting kari hai (in Tu Jhooti Main Makkaar). How will I know anybody in 6 days?".
As a matter of fact, Nushrratt, without batting an eyelid, picked the Brahmastra actor yet again when asked to choose between him and none other than Shah Rukh Khan! Explaining her pick she then articulated, "Kaam mein Ranbir Kapoor, but if I have to be romancing and falling in love with someone, Shah Rukh sir".
On the work front, Nushrratt last featured in supernatural thriller Chhorii 2, currently available for streaming on OTT.

Ranbir Kapoor was recently spotted joining Aamir Khan's house party ahead of Sitaare Zameen Par's release. The videos and photos have gone viral on social media. And now, another video has surfaced in which Ranbir Kapoor and Kiran Rao's son, Azad Rao Khan, are seen sharing a playful moment over a foosball game. In the video, shared by Instant Bollywood, we can see Ranbir Kapoor, dressed casually, engaged in a light-hearted foosball match with Azad. The energy between the two immediately caught netizens' attention. Azad looked completely immersed in the game, while Ranbir appeared equally invested, making the moment all the more delightful. Fans called them cutie in the comment section. Watch the video here: Currently, Ranbir Kapoor is making headlines again and it's not for his film performances, but jaw-dropping transformation. The actor, who had bulked up and sported a rugged beard for his intense role in Animal, was recently spotted looking drastically leaner and completely clean-shaven. The video of his new look has now taken the internet by storm. Also see: Karan Johar Dismisses Ego Clash Rumours Between Ranbir Kapoor And Ranveer Singh Fresh off the shoot for Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, Ranbir has shifted gears to begin prep for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming romantic saga Love and War. In a viral clip circulating online, the actor is seen in the city sporting a fresh, clean-shaven face and a slick hairstyle, noticeably slimmer than his Animal avatar. Dressed casually in a red tee and denim from his personal label, Ranbir waved at the paparazzi, posed for pictures, and even handed his cap to one of the photographers before stepping into his car. Talking about Ramayana, just a few days back, it was also revealed that Ranbir and Yash will barely be seen sharing screen space together in Ramayana. According to sources close to the production, 'The makers have chosen to stay true to the original Valmiki text, where Lord Ram and Raavan do not encounter each other through most of the epic. Their worlds remain apart, their stories unfolding in parallel until destiny brings them face-to-face in the climactic battle. As per the original narrative, Ram learns of Raavan's existence only after Sita's abduction, and the two never meet until the battlefield confrontation in Lanka." Meanwhile, several media reports also suggest that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has cleared the first promo of Ramayana. The 2-minute-36-second promo has received a 'U' certificate from the Mumbai Regional Office of the board. However, official confirmation regarding this is still awaited.
