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.

Meet actor Kartik Aaryan who was AD on his own film, gave over 30 retakes for kissing scene, trolled for sexist dialogues and is now biggest heartthrob
Known for his comic timing and charming looks, this actor made it big in the industry despite being an outsider. Debuted in 2011, the actor worked as an AD on his own film and struggled to do kissing scenes on-screen. He is now considered one of the biggest crowd pullers, whose horror-comedy franchise has a dedicated fan base. Yes, we are talking about none other than Kartik Aaryan. Born on November 22, 1990, to a Brahmin family in Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh), Kartik Aaryan is among the leading stars in Bollywood today. The actor holds a strong fan base and is carrying a successful film career. His debut film, Pyaar Ka Punchnama, was released in 2011 by filmmaker Luv Ranjan. Though the movie was a decent performer at the box office, Kartik was applauded for his performance. He worked as an Assistant director on his third film, Kaanchi, directed by Subhash Ghai. The actor faced difficulty in doing kissing scenes. Reportedly, he gave around 37 retakes for a passionate kissing sequence in Kaanchi. In his initial years, Kartik Aaryan was identified as a 'monologue actor' because he used to have long monologues in movies—Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, and Pati Patni Aur Woh. While his monologues used to have a virality factor, they were also criticised for being misogynistic. After facing backlash, the makers of Pati Patni Aur Woh decided to remove his monologue from the final edit. His breakthrough movie was the 2018 release Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, which was his first ever Rs 100 crore net grosser in India. The super success of SKTKS put him on the national map, and he became the new sensation in the tinsel town. Kartik never looked back since then and has given several hits and Superhit movies, including Luka Chuppi, Pati Patni Aur Woh, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Kartik Aaryan's highest grossing movie is Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, directed by Anees Bazmee. While fans wait for its fourth installment, Kartik has an exciting slate of releases ahead: an untitled romantic film with Anurag Basu co-starring Sreeleela, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri with Sameer Vidwans co-starring Ananya Panday, and Pati Patni Aur Woh 2. The actor also had a fallout with Karan Johar; however, they made up and reunited. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Karan also opened up about his past feud with actor Kartik Aaryan and his experience of finally collaborating with him in the upcoming film, Tu Mera Main Teri Main Tera Tu Meri. During the podcast, Karan Johar was asked if casting either of them creates a tiff between him and Ranbir or Ranveer. To which, he replied, 'Everybody is understanding of each other, there is no ego. This is all very old school of looking at it in that gaze or lens. I don't look at it like that, I am sure they don't either.' The director further added that the trio has always maintained a close friendship. 'I remember when I did Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Ranveer watching the film, coming to my house and telling me about his thoughts. It was so wonderful. I also remember Ranbir giving me feedback on Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. We are friends more than anything else. We have hung out with each other. We have chatted with each other. We talk shop, but we also talk about our personal lives and feelings. All of us are a bunch of people who are here to tell stories, make movies, and learn and imbibe from each other,' he said. ALSO READ | Karan Johar says impossible to make multi-starrer like K3G today: 'Remuneration levels will go crazy… they will be unaffordable' Karan mentioned that both the actors have helped him learn a lot as a filmmaker. 'I have learnt so much from both Ranbir and Ranveer while directing them. I am sure I may have also contributed to their thoughts. I know that I am a better filmmaker today because I have directed them, they are both wonderful actors,' he reflected. Karan Johar also opened up about patching up with Kartik Aaryan, after their 2021 feud surrounding Dostana 2. 'I think that we internally discussed it and worked it out. We let bygones be bygones. Kartik is immensely hardworking, very connective big star today who has a wide audience base, and has a great instinct on screenplay. He and I met, collaborated and decided to come together, it was all kosher and lovely,' he shared. He continued, 'We have all had our issues with each other but it's a tiny industry, which I call a family. I believe that within a family, kabhi kabhi ghile shikhve hojaate hain. But at the end of the day, good people want to make good films and come together to create great content. We don't sweat the small stuff, we have the larger vision to look at.'
