Nushrratt Bharuccha just got brutally honest at News18’s Rising Bharat Summit in Delhi—and we’re all ears! While most dodge the dreaded “N” word, the Dream Girl 2 actress tackled nepotism head-on, admitting star kids do have it easier… but with a twist.
“They have more opportunities, sure. But they also have the baggage of legacy. If my parents were famous, I’d be freaking out,” she said. Nushrratt, who climbed the ladder without a filmi surname, revealed she’s faced rejections for not looking “right on a poster” or having fewer followers than a rival. Ouch!
Yet, she isn’t bitter. “Talent is talent,” she declared, name-dropping Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor as examples. And while she acknowledges the perks of fame-by-birth, she’s clear: outsiders have to fall, learn, and hustle harder.
From auditioning without guidance to competing with influencers, Nushrratt’s journey is all grit, no glam shortcuts. “I have nothing to lose,” she smiled. That’s the energy we love.
In a world of filters and followers, Bharuccha’s unfiltered take is a breath of fresh air—and a stark reminder that in Bollywood, talent still talks.
