Nushrratt Slams Bollywood’s Gender Inequality (Social Media)
Entertainment News: Sexism and gender disparity are still prevalent issues in the film industry, and actor Nushrratt Bharuccha isn't afraid to call them out. In an honest chat with Nayandeep Rakshit, she opened up about the unfair treatment women endure in Bollywood, from receiving fewer film offers than their male counterparts to being allotted subpar vanity vans and washrooms on set. Nushrratt reflected on her progress, offering personal stories that demonstrated how deeply rooted casual sexism remains in the industry.
Speaking on the toxic practices of sexism in the industry, Nushrratt 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."
"There have been times when I went around asking, ‘Can I use the hero’s vanity van for 5 minutes? He’s not here anyway. Can I use the washrooms? ’ Because they are nicer than mine. However, I won’t complain or bicker at that time. I tell myself that I will bring myself to that point where I get these things by default," said the actor.
Nushrratt has most recently appeared in the horror flick Chhorii 2. Vishal Furia directed the film, which also featured Soha Ali Khan and Gashmeer Mahajani in significant parts. It is presently available for streaming on Prime Video. She hasn't announced her future project.
