Nushrratt Bharuccha REACTS To Criticism For Moving Model Aside At Lakme Fashion Week
Last Updated: Nushrratt Bharuccha addressed the viral clip from Lakme Fashion Week 2025, explaining she moved a designer, not a model, aside on the runway. It's been a few months since a clip of Nushrratt Bharuccha at Lakme Fashion Week 2025 went viral like crazy. The actress, who closed the show for NIF Global on Day 2 of the event in March, was caught on camera moving a young model aside on the runway. This led to a lot of controversy as many criticised her. The video shows Nushrratt arriving at the end of the ramp, appearing visibly focused, before placing her hands on a girl's shoulders and gently shifting her out of the centre. While the girl gave a polite smile, Nushrratt's lack of interaction and the way she later positioned two others in front of her outraged many. Now, breaking her silence in an interview with Yuvaa, Nushrratt addressed the online backlash, saying, '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 karu mein?" 'She was standing in the centre, there was loud music, and mujhe piche se bola gaya tha, 'Aap aapni jagah pe jake bane 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," added Nushrratt. Nushrratt Bharuccha had turned showstopper in a striking, layered ensemble designed by 19-year-olds Ananya Mutta and Himanshi Garg from NIF Global, Gandhinagar. The Pyaar Ka Punchnama actress was seen confidently walking the ramp when she encountered a model standing in her path. Rather than taking a detour, Nushrratt casually held the model from behind and guided her aside. Many found Nushrratt's gesture to be rude. Take a look: Professionally, Nushrratt Bharuccha's most recent outing was in Chhorii 2, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video on April 11. The horror sequel featured her alongside Soha Ali Khan, Gashmeer Mahajani, and Saurabh Goyal. Chhorii 2, directed by Vishal Furia, is the follow-up to the 2021 horror film Chhorii and continues the spine-chilling story that first brought Nushrratt into the horror spotlight. First Published:

Nushrratt Bharuccha defends moving model aside at Lakmé Fashion Week after backlash: ‘I was told from backstage…'
Bollywood actor Nushrratt Bharuccha walked at Lakmé Fashion Week 2025 for NIF Global: The Runway in March. A video from the event surfaced online, showing the actor moving aside a fellow model on the runway. She received significant backlash on social media. Now, in an interview with Yuvaa, Nushrratt has finally addressed the incident. (Also Read: Nushrratt Bharuccha on casual sexism in film world: If I'm being told this isn't your place, sometimes I have to shut up) The video in question showed Nushrratt making space for herself in the centre of the ramp by moving aside another model. As she reached the end of the ramp, where the models were posing, Nushrratt moved aside a girl, and the two smiled at each other. Moments later, she asked two other girls to stand beside her, completely blocking the previous model from view. The clip sparked criticism of Nushrratt's conduct on the runway, with many accusing her of 'showing attitude'. Responding to the backlash and explaining her actions, Nushrratt said, "She wasn't even a model—she was one of the designers, one of the children from the NIF class, who didn't know about ramp shows or centre stage. What was I supposed to do? She was standing in the centre, there was loud music, and I was told from backstage, 'Please make your space and take your position.' So how do I make space? Forget being a showstopper—any model who walks knows that you walk to centre stage, then turn and walk back. That's basic." A post shared by Instant Bollywood (@instantbollywood) Meanwhile, Nushrratt was last seen in Vishal Furia's horror film Chhorii 2. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Vikram Malhotra, and Jack Davis, the film is a sequel to Chhorii (2021), and also features Soha Ali Khan, Gashmeer Mahajani, and Saurabh Goyal in key roles. While Soha and Nushrratt were praised for their performances, the lack of jump scares disappointed some fans. The film is available to watch on Prime Video. Nushrratt has yet to announce her next project.

Ajay Devgn opens up on daughter Nysa's Bollywood aspirations: 'She's not interested in any of this'
While many star kids have recently made their acting debut in Bollywood, couple Ajay Devgn and Kajol's daughter Nysa has some other plans at the moment. (Also read: Kajol wishes daughter Nysa Devgn on birthday, says she has 'much to learn from you') During the trailer launch of Kajol's film Maa in Mumbai, Ajay Devgn was asked whether he considered casting his daughter, Nysa, in the "mythological horror". Responding to the query, Ajay said, "At the moment, she is not interested in this kind of work." The trailer launch saw Ajay and Kajol candidly answering questions from the media. Kajol also talked about how the theme of motherhood in Maa echoed with her. "I spoke about this during Salaam Venky as any parent's worst nightmare (to lose their child). I normally tend not to let my feelings affect my shot, but somewhere down the line, subconsciously, emotions come easier. Tears fall more easily. Because you feel so connected to it, and it's so real," she said. Kajol's Maa is all set to be released in theatres on June 27. It also stars Indraneil Sengupta, Jitin Gulati, and Kherin Sharma. Vishal Furia, who earlier directed Chhorii, has helmed it. On comparisons with the Chhorii franchise, Vishal said, 'The only similarity is that both are stories of mothers. But we're talking about Maa Kali in this film, who is a much bigger entity. This world is much, much bigger. It's a cinematic experience. You can't watch it on OTT. You'll have to come and watch it in theatres.'
