Meet Muslim actress who keeps Santoshi Maa fasts, visits Vaishno Devi and Kedarnath for Puja, her name is..., not Sara Ali Khan
Nushrratt Bharuccha's lastest film Chhorii 2 was recently released on Prime Video earlier this month. During the promotions, the actress talked about her religion, expressing her deep faith in God. In Shubhankar Mishra's podcast, Nushrratt shared every aspect of her life, including her early struggling days in Mumbai.
To earn money on her own, Nushrratt used to do whatever work she got. She gave many auditions for advertisements and during this time she got her debut film Jai Santoshi Maa . Nushrratt also believes in numerology and changed her name in 2020. Coming from a Muslim family, no one told her about numerology and the actress herself don't know how she got deeply involved.
The Sonu ki Titu ki Sweety actress revealed that most of her childhood is spent visiting temples, Churches and Gurdwaras. She further said, 'I had also kept a fast of Maa Santoshi Mata. I kept a fast on 16 Fridays. I have kept 9 Novenas.'
Asking the reason behind going on a spiritual trip like Kedarnath, Nushrratt shared, 'I was very much convinced to go to both Kedarnath and Badrinath. I just wanted to go and bow my head there and feel the energy there. I wanted to take blessings from there. I have also visited Vaishno Devi and not just bowed down to Mata, but I climbed the whole way. I did a full 13 km trek. Had darshan and then walked back the next day. So I have done that too.'
The Pyaar Ka Punchnama star further spoke out about facing constant backlash over her appearance and beliefs, talking about her choices majorly towards faith and clothes. She added, 'Whether it's about my clothes or where I go, I've faced comments. When I post my picture, people ask, 'What kind of Muslim is she? Look at her clothes'. How do I handle it? Just like any other criticism. It doesn't change me. It won't stop me from going to a temple or praying namaz. I'll keep doing both. Because that's my faith. When you're clear in your thoughts, spirit, and mind, no one in the world can shake you'.
Meanwhile, Nushrratt has been a part of movies such as Kal Kissne Dekha, Taj Mahal, Love Sex Aur Dhokha. Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Akash Vani and more.

Arun Govil questions modern-day Ramayan adaptations: 'None of the stars today fit to play Lord Ram'
Veteran actor , who immortalised the role of Lord Ram in Ramanand Sagar's classic Ramayan, has weighed in on the current wave of mythological remakes, and he isn't holding back. Speaking to NDTV, the revered actor expressed skepticism about modern interpretations and questioned whether today's stars truly embody the spiritual weight of the character. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'Three-four people have tried recreating it, but they weren't successful,' Govil said. 'I don't think in our lifetime someone should attempt to remake Ramayan.' Govil believes authenticity, not star power, should lead casting choices Though he didn't mention any names, Govil's remarks seem to reflect public sentiment around recent adaptations like Adipurush (2023), which cast Prabhas as Ram but faced intense criticism over its dialogues, visual treatment, and perceived lack of reverence. Despite high expectations and a massive release, the film failed to leave a lasting impact. In a pointed remark on casting, Govil added, 'When it comes to playing Ram, none of the stars we have today fit the part in my opinion. Maybe someone from outside the industry might be more suitable.' Arun Govil's old video resurfaces: Muslim family greets 'Shri Ram' at airport Govil's portrayal of Lord Ram between 1987 and 1988 became a spiritual event in itself, with millions tuning in every Sunday morning on Doordarshan. His performance, soft-spoken demeanor, and commanding presence set a benchmark that many argue remains unmatched even today. The timing of his remarks is noteworthy, coinciding with the second phase of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony at the in Ayodhya, a monumental spiritual event that reinforces the cultural importance of Ramayan and its characters. Govil's comments also come just as gears up to portray Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari's ambitious film adaptation of Ramayan. Planned as a two-part saga, the project is expected to release on Diwali in 2026 and 2027.
