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.

Mumtaz Reveals Yash Chopra 'Liked' Her, Proposed Marriage: ‘I Said No...'
Last Updated: Mumtaz reveals Yash Chopra once proposed to her, says she declined to focus on work. Veteran Bollywood star Mumtaz, who reigned as one of the highest-paid actresses during the 1970s, recently made a surprising revelation about legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra. In a candid chat with Radio Nasha, Mumtaz shared that Chopra once proposed marriage to her — back when he was just starting out in the industry. 'Yash ji used to genuinely like me very much," she said, recalling the moment. 'He was an assistant at that time under his brother, BR Chopra. He used to like me. I'm not saying I was very beautiful, I was reasonable, so he used to like me. I was young and he was an assistant. Unhone bohut sharafat se, tameez se mujhe shaadi offer kari. He said, 'Moti Moti, I love you', and I said, 'No, I want to focus on work, I wanted to get somewhere'." The Khilona star added that she had deep respect for the filmmaker. 'Bohut hi acche insaan the. Unke jaisa accha insaan aur director bohut kum hai. Unka beta Aditya bhi ab accha director hai. Par unone bohut izzat se mujhe shaadi offer ki thi, aisa nahi ki line maar rahe hai. Voh bohut shareef insaan the. Fir jab unhone shaadi ki, toh main unki shaadi mein bhi gayi. We were very, very good friends." Mumtaz eventually married businessman Mayur Madhvani in 1974. The couple has two daughters. Following her marriage, she stepped away from acting and took a 13-year-long break. Now, the iconic actress is considering a comeback—but with conditions. Speaking to Instant Bollywood recently, Mumtaz shared that she's yet to receive a role that suits her image or personality. She's not interested in stereotypical roles of older women unless they genuinely resonate with her. She explained, she would only return to acting 'for a character that truly suits her presence" and made it clear that she's 'not willing to take on the role of someone's mother unless the part resonates with her expectations."
