'Decide Karo Guys': Nushrratt Bharuccha Loses Cool At Paps Over Photo Requests In Mumbai
Nushrratt Bharuccha was seen getting visibly annoyed at paparazzi during a Mumbai event as they repeatedly asked her to pose. Bollywood actress Nushrratt Bharuccha had a brief moment of frustration with the paparazzi during her appearance at an event in Mumbai on Sunday. The actress, who arrived in an elegant all-white co-ord set featuring a plunging neckline, appeared visibly annoyed as she navigated the chaos of the red carpet. While posing for photographs, Nushrratt bumped into her Pyaar Ka Punchnama co-star Ishita Raj and took a moment to exchange pleasantries. A fan also approached her for a selfie during the interaction. However, the relentless shouting from photographers demanding her to pose triggered her irritation. In a video shared by Filmygyan, Nushrratt can be seen expressing her annoyance and telling the paps, 'Yaar, kiske saath chahiye aapko? Decide karo guys," before posing with Ishita and heading inside. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FILMYGYAN VIDEOS (@filmygyanvideos) This outburst comes shortly after Nushrratt found herself at the center of another controversy. During a Yoga Day event, she made headlines for instructing a team member to remove her shoes—an action that drew criticism from netizens for its tone and optics. Despite these viral moments, Nushrratt remains a familiar face in the Hindi film circuit, known for her roles in films like Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Dream Girl, and the horror thriller Chhorii. Her most recent release was Chhorii 2, which premiered directly on OTT earlier this year and co-starred Soha Ali Khan. Next, she is set to star in Bun Tikki, an upcoming film that also features industry veterans Abhay Deol, Shabana Azmi, and Zeenat Aman. First Published:
