Nushrratt looked back at her decision to wear a bikini in the film during a conversation with Hauterrfly. Nushrratt said, 'For me, it has always been about real-life experience translating into my on-screen performance. I hadn't worn a bikini before, and I knew I would be uncomfortable in front of the camera. I told Luv sir (director Luv Ranjan), 'Even if I wear it, I'll be stiff and awkward. How can you get a natural shot if internally I'm not okay with it?' I realised I needed to truly own it first."
To break free from her inhibitions, Nushrratt took a solo trip abroad, because she felt that one can't 'exactly roam around Mumbai wearing a bikini'. She shared that she needed to break the internal consciousness in my mind, to normalise it for herself.
Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 is a romantic comedy film and is the sequel to the 2011 film Pyaar Ka Punchnama. The sequel is directed by Luv Ranjan and produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Panorama Studios Production. The film was released on October 16 2015.

On the work front, Nushrratt last featured in the supernatural thriller Chhorii 2, currently available for streaming on OTT.

Nushrratt Bharuccha's Monsoon Glam Features Sequins And Mocha Mousse Glam
Last Updated: Nushrratt Bharuccha recently took to her Instagram to share pictures of her latest look. She opted for a body-hugging brown dress that was adorned with sequins. Actor Nushrratt Bharuccha is currently basking in the love and praise that she received for her performance in Chhorii 2. As she basks in the success, she recently took to her social media to share pictures of her latest look. Her latest look combined the magic of monsoon with the Colour Of The Year – Mocha Mousse. Taking to her Instagram, Nushrratt Bharuccha shared a series of pictures of herself in a brown bodycon dress. She had worn the dress to a recent award show. The post gave her fans a close-up view of her ensemble. The pictures showed the actor striking some glamorous poses as she posed against the backdrop of the rain. Sharing the pictures, she wrote, 'Hi, Nice to meet you! I'm Melody. And you are?" Take a closer look at Nushrratt's OOTD here. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nushrratt Bharuccha (@nushrrattbharuccha) For her recent look, Nushrratt exuded confidence and high-octane glamour in a striking brown bodycon dress. She chose a shimmering sequin piece from House of CB that hugged her silhouette perfectly, catching the light with a liquid-metal finish. Featuring a square neckline and thick shoulder straps, the ensemble blended structure with sensual elegance. For the glam, she channelled monsoon glam as she sported slicked-back, middle-parted hair that enhanced the dramatic and drenched vibe. She defined her eyes with a shimmering brown soft smokey eye, a nude shade on the lips, and a dewy base. Swapping traditional black or metallics for a rich, chocolate hue, the look offered a fresh take on red carpet glamour. The actor found herself in a soup when a video of her moving a girl aside at the Lakme Fashion Week went viral. Speaking to Yuvaa, she cleared the air and said, 'She wasn't even a model – she was one of the designers, one of the children from the NIF class, jisko ramp show, centre stage nahi pata tha. Kya karoon main? She was standing in the centre, there was loud music, and mujhe piche se bola gaya tha, 'Aap aapni jagah pe jake khade hojao.' Aur kaise jagah banau? How do I do it? Forget being a showstopper—any model who walks knows that she walks to centre stage, then turns and walks back. Woh toh basic hai." On the work front, reports mention that Nushrratt will star in a Rohit Shetty thriller film.
