From 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' to 'The Bhootnii': Sunny Singh is quietly owning Bollywood's comedy space
From the moment he appeared as the lovably confused character in 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama', Sunny Singh caught the audience's attention with his impeccable comic timing and perfect dialogue delivery. In a space often dominated by over-the-top antics, Sunny's style of comedy is refreshing, realistic, with a dash of sarcasm, and endearing innocence. Over the years, he has carved a niche for himself in Bollywood's comedy genre with films like 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety', 'Jai Mummy Di', 'Ujda Chaman', and the recent 'The Bhootnii', proving that he's not just the funny guy, but the relatable one. In 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama', Sunny played the role of Chauka, one of the three friends trying to make sense of modern-day relationships. While the film's infamous monologue by Kartik Aaryan went viral, Sunny's contribution lay in his relatable expressions and the subtle yet hilarious way he responded to his friends' chaos. His natural screen presence and effortless timing didn't go unnoticed. The film became his stepping stone, paving the way for his journey up the ladder of success. HAMID BARKZI,ROZLYN KHAN,PRATIK GANDHI & RASHIKA DUGAL AT THE RED CARPET OF 8TH TALENTRACK AWARDS Then came 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety;, the film that cemented his place in mainstream comedy. As the naive and trusting Titu, Sunny's restrained performance was the perfect foil to Kartik's high-energy Sonu. His character's simplicity and emotional vulnerability brought balance to the bromance, and his dialogues, especially 'Mujhe toh Sweety sahi lagti hai yaar', sparked countless memes and were repeated in everyday conversations. What stood out was how naturally he embodied the confused, love-struck boy, without ever going over the top. In 'Jai Mummy Di', he stepped into the role of a young man stuck between love and a hilarious family feud. While the film had a chaotic, almost sitcom-like energy, Sunny stood out with his grounded performance. He portrayed frustration and helplessness in a way that wasn't just funny but also highly believable, a boy next door who just wants peace but gets caught in a storm. Ujda Chaman was a departure from his usual comic outings. Here, Sunny played a prematurely balding man dealing with societal judgments. While still a comedy, the film leaned into satire and self-reflection. Sunny brought a layer of sensitivity and depth to his role, showing that he could do more than just punchlines, he could make you laugh and think at the same time. His recent performance in Wild Wild Punjab was another example of how he adapts his style to fit ensemble comedies. Amid the madness of the bachelor party gone rogue, Sunny's understated wit helped bring moments of calm hilarity. And in his recent film The Bhootnii, he once again reminded everyone of his strength, being funny without trying too hard. His expressions, especially in ghostly situations, were priceless. What makes Sunny Singh unique is his ability to be the heart of a comedy without demanding the spotlight! The Times of India editorial team was not involved in the creation of this content.

Nushrratt Bharuccha Did Not Like Kartik Aaryan's Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety: 'I Was Not Happy'
Last Updated: However, Nushrratt also defended the film saying it was "comedy" and that the makers did not mean to convey that all women are the same. Even though Nushrratt Bharuccha made her acting debut in 2006, she became a popular name after she starred in Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011) and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018). The films, starring Kartik Aaryan in the lead, were widely loved by the audience, but were also questioned for presenting women in a manipulative way. In a recent interview, Nushrratt admitted that even she was not very happy with how girls were presented in the Luv Ranjan films. She mentioned that even though she does not like these films personally, she would do them again as she really enjoyed playing those characters. 'Even then, I was not happy. I said no to the films," the actress said, while speaking to Yuvaa. When asked about 'how the girl was represented" in these films, Nushrratt added, 'I have no problem with it, absolutely not. I would do it again in a heartbeat and love what I am doing. I enjoyed playing Neha, playing Cheeku and playing Sweety. Even though, all three were very far from who I am, very unrelatable to me and I had my own fight with the writers and the director that how do I do this? I am not convinced why she is dong this or being this way. That was my battle. But did I have fun doing it? I loved it. Would I do it again? 100 percent. Provided people are seeing it correctly." However, Nushrratt also defended the film, saying it was 'comedy" and that the makers did not mean to convey that all women are the same. 'That was a comedy film. We showed three girls who were a certain way. We didn't say all girls are like this," she said. 'Even though I didn't like the film, I didn't like my character personally, I really enjoyed playing it and I would do it again because I can't judge a character. I am not supposed to judge it," she shared. Nushrratt mentioned that many women have approached her asking her to recite the famous Pyaar Ka Punchnama monologue. 'I used to be shocked looking at the girls, 'You know this is not in your praise.' 'Yes yes, but please say it once.' I would not want to hear it (the monologue) again, but there were people who wanted to, and we made a film for those people. They were the ones who spent money on it," she concluded.

Nushrratt Bharuccha says she didn't like her Pyaar Ka Punchnama characters but would play them again: 'I had my own fight with the writers'
Nushrratt Bharuccha may have become a household name with Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety in 2018, but her journey with director Luv Ranjan began much earlier with 2011's Pyaar Ka Punchnama. Though these films were commercially successful and gave her considerable recognition, they've often been called out for being misogynistic. Now, in a candid new interview, Nushrratt says she didn't particularly like the characters she played—but she would still do those roles again. 'Even then I was not happy, I said no to the films' In a conversation with Yuvaa, Nushrratt was asked if she felt her characters in Pyaar Ka Punchnama and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety were well represented. She admitted, 'Even then I was not happy. I said no to the films.' When asked if she was okay with 'how the girl was represented,' the actress replied, 'I have no problem with it, absolutely not. I would do it again in a heartbeat and love what I am doing.' She added that despite her initial hesitation and ongoing arguments with the filmmakers about the character motivations, she enjoyed playing Neha, Cheeku, and Sweety. 'Even though all three were very far from who I am, very unrelatable to me… I had my own fight with the writers and the director—'How do I do this? I am not convinced why she is doing this or being this way.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi regalada en Buenos Aires (ver precio) Verisure Undo That was my battle. But did I have fun doing it? I loved it. ' 'It was comedy, we never said all women are like that' Addressing the backlash these films received, Nushrratt explained that they were never meant to be taken as a generalisation of women. 'That was a comedy film. We showed three girls who were a certain way. We didn't say all girls are like this,' she clarified. Interestingly, she also said that she personally did not like the films or her own characters but appreciated the experience nonetheless. 'Even though I didn't like the film, I didn't like my character personally, I really enjoyed playing it and I would do it again because I can't judge a character. I am not supposed to judge it,' she said. She also added that perhaps another filmmaker should make a similar film from a female perspective. Nushrratt Bharuccha Spotted at Mumbai Airport in Easy Ethnic Look 'Girls would ask me to recite the monologue—it wasn't a compliment' Nushrratt shared a surprising anecdote about how many women approached her to hear the now-iconic Pyaar Ka Punchnama monologue. 'The number of girls that have personally said, 'Ek baar monologue suna do.' What will you tell them? I used to be shocked looking at the girls—'You know this is not in your praise.' 'Yes yes, but please say it once,'' she recalled. The actress added that she personally wouldn't want to hear the monologue again, but they made the film for the audience that appreciated it. 'They were the ones who spent money on it,' she said. Nushrratt Bharuccha was last seen in Chhorii 2.

Nushrratt Bharuccha says she didn't like Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety ‘personally': ‘I would tell girls this is not in your praise'
Nushrratt Bharuccha first stepped into the spotlight with Luv Ranjan's 2011 film Pyaar Ka Punchnama, even though she made her debut in the movies in 2006. But, it wasn't until 2018's Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety that people started recognising her by her name. These Luv Ranjan films, which also starred Kartik Aaryan, were popular with audiences but drew criticism for being misogynistic, with female characters often portrayed as unreasonable or manipulative. In a new interview, Nushrratt was asked about these films and if she was happy with how 'the girl was represented.' To this, Nushrratt said that even though she does not like these films personally, she would do them again as she really enjoyed playing those characters. In a chat with Yuvaa, when she was asked if she was happy with her characters in Pyaar Ka Punchnama and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, she said, 'Even then I was not happy. I said no to the films.'

'Even though I didn't like the film, I didn't like my character personally, I really enjoyed playing it and I would do it again because I can't judge a character.

Meet actress, who had only 3 hits in 19 years, got rejected for.., director felt she was too..., her name is...
Meet actress, who had only 3 hits in 19 years, got rejected for.., director felt she was too..., her name is... Bollywood actress Nushrratt Bharuccha is a prominent name in Hindi film industry. Before garnering fame, she used to work full-time in television industry. She started her career with the serial Kittie Party in 2002. Apart from Hindi, she also starred in many TV shows in Telugu language. However, she got real limelight after appearing in films. In 2006, she started her career in Hindi film industry with the film Jai Santoshi Maa . After doing couple of movies, she got her breakthrough with Love Sex Aur Dhokha in 2010. In the same year, she gave another superhit with Kartik Aaryan, Pyaar Ka Punchnama. In 2015, she again collaborated with him for the sequel of Pyaar Ka Punchnama . It turned out to be a success, earning Rs 88 crore at the box office. After that, her films weren't gaining commercial and critical successes, until in 2018 Luv Ranjan's rom-com Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety happened, where she worked with her Lucky Charm Kartik Aaryan again, along with Sunny Singh. She gained immense popularity for playing a grey-shade character in the film. Nushrratt once spoke about loosing out a role in 2008 Oscar-winner film Slumdog Millionaire. In a chat with Bollywood Bubble, she revealed that she was called 'too pretty' for the role. However, she was left totally confused when the makers broke this news to her. Nushrratt recalled, 'When I was told this on the phone, I wasn't understanding what it meant. But I said, 'Okay,' because they're people working at a different level and their thought is very different. Maine kaha theek hai hoga bhai kuch, kuch toh socha hoga aapne (There must be something there, they must have thought of something). No problem, sure. But ya, it was a little difficult to hear ki yeh kya hota hai, yeh kya hai (what kind of a reason is that).' Meanwhile, on the professional front, Nushrratt was last seen in Chhorii 2 with Soha Ali Khan.
