However, Nushrratt also defended the film saying it was "comedy" and that the makers did not mean to convey that all women are the same.
Even though Nushrratt Bharuccha made her acting debut in 2006, she became a popular name after she starred in Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011) and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018). The films, starring Kartik Aaryan in the lead, were widely loved by the audience, but were also questioned for presenting women in a manipulative way.
In a recent interview, Nushrratt admitted that even she was not very happy with how girls were presented in the Luv Ranjan films. She mentioned that even though she does not like these films personally, she would do them again as she really enjoyed playing those characters.
'Even then, I was not happy. I said no to the films," the actress said, while speaking to Yuvaa.
When asked about 'how the girl was represented" in these films, Nushrratt added, 'I have no problem with it, absolutely not. I would do it again in a heartbeat and love what I am doing. I enjoyed playing Neha, playing Cheeku and playing Sweety. Even though, all three were very far from who I am, very unrelatable to me and I had my own fight with the writers and the director that how do I do this? I am not convinced why she is dong this or being this way. That was my battle. But did I have fun doing it? I loved it. Would I do it again? 100 percent. Provided people are seeing it correctly."
However, Nushrratt also defended the film, saying it was 'comedy" and that the makers did not mean to convey that all women are the same. 'That was a comedy film. We showed three girls who were a certain way. We didn't say all girls are like this," she said.
'Even though I didn't like the film, I didn't like my character personally, I really enjoyed playing it and I would do it again because I can't judge a character. I am not supposed to judge it," she shared.
Nushrratt mentioned that many women have approached her asking her to recite the famous Pyaar Ka Punchnama monologue. 'I used to be shocked looking at the girls, 'You know this is not in your praise.' 'Yes yes, but please say it once.' I would not want to hear it (the monologue) again, but there were people who wanted to, and we made a film for those people. They were the ones who spent money on it," she concluded.
