Also read: Nushrratt Bharuccha on criticism for Pyaar Ka Punchnama films: 'People hated me, believed I was that girl in real life' 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.

Before Pyaar Ka Punchnama bikini scene, Nushrratt Bharuccha went on a solo foreign trip so she could wear swimwear ‘day and night': ‘Kabhi pehna nahi tha'
Actor Nushrratt Bharuccha has often opened up about being judged and trolled for her personal choices – visiting temples, outfits, etc. In a recent interview with Hauterrfly, the actor recalled the time when she had to wear a bikini in Luv Ranjan's Pyaar Ka Punchnama, alongside Kartik Aaryan. Opening up about it during a candid conversation, Nushrratt revealed that she went on an international solo trip and wore a bikini for three straight days to get accustomed with the idea of it. When asked about gaining the courage to wear a bikini for the film, she shared, 'I never learned how to act, so whatever I do in real life or how my experience has been, it is easier to do that on screen. However, bikini maine kabhi pehna nahi tha (I never wore a bikini in my life).' The actor expressed her concern to the director Luv Ranjan. 'So, I was telling Luv sir that my biggest problem is that even if I wear it, I won't be able to feel comfortable in it. How will I contribute to your shot? I have to feel okay doing it internally, I haven't owned it yet. I need to be able to experience and own it to do it.' ALSO READ | Nushrratt Bharuccha reveals she would rather work with Ranbir Kapoor than Kartik Aaryan: 'I love his skill and craft' Nushrratt came to a solution by going on an international holiday alone. 'Maine ek solo trip maar li abroad (I went on an international solo trip). Because, you can't really wear a bikini and roam around in India, let's be realistic. I wore bikinis for three days, from morning till night. In the hotel, swimming pool, beach, everywhere. I would do an overthrow and go in a bikini everywhere.' She further added, 'I did it consciously because I wanted to break my own mind, tabboo, or consciousness of it, by saying that I am roaming in a bikini. It is so liberating. In the middle of the second day, I had forgotten that I was in a bikini, it just felt normal. Haan main yahi toh pehenke ghoom rahi hu, isme kya hai? I wanted to get over the fixation I have about it.' On the work front, Nushrratt Bharuccha was last seen in Amazon Prime Video's horror thriller film Chhorii 2, alongside Soha Ali Khan.
