Nushrratt on sexism
Nushrratt Bharuccha stepped into Bollywood with Pyaar Ka Punchnama, and since then she has done impressive roles. Despite massive success, the actress didn’t have lucrative offers coming her way. In a recent interview, she calls out the sexist nature of the industry and opens up about the disparities she has faced. She reveals how male actors get better vanity and washrooms as compared to female stars.
In an interview with Nayandeep Rakshit, the Chhorii 2 actress called out sexism in the industry and said, "As soon as a guy delivers a hit, no matter if he is an insider or an outsider, he will get five new options immediately. But women have to keep struggling. I have been saying this since the time of Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011). For a girl to break out and get those options… I am not saying that she has to become an overnight sensation or anything… What does an actor want once their movie is a hit? To get a few options for potential future projects from which they can choose. That’s it. They just need opportunities. We don’t get as many (options) as heroes do."
