Nushrratt Bharuccha defends moving model aside at Lakmé Fashion Week after backlash: ‘I was told from backstage…'
Bollywood actor Nushrratt Bharuccha walked at Lakmé Fashion Week 2025 for NIF Global: The Runway in March. A video from the event surfaced online, showing the actor moving aside a fellow model on the runway. She received significant backlash on social media. Now, in an interview with Yuvaa, Nushrratt has finally addressed the incident.

The video in question showed Nushrratt making space for herself in the centre of the ramp by moving aside another model. As she reached the end of the ramp, where the models were posing, Nushrratt moved aside a girl, and the two smiled at each other. Moments later, she asked two other girls to stand beside her, completely blocking the previous model from view. The clip sparked criticism of Nushrratt's conduct on the runway, with many accusing her of 'showing attitude'.
Responding to the backlash and explaining her actions, Nushrratt said, "She wasn't even a model—she was one of the designers, one of the children from the NIF class, who didn't know about ramp shows or centre stage. What was I supposed to do? She was standing in the centre, there was loud music, and I was told from backstage, 'Please make your space and take your position.' So how do I make space? Forget being a showstopper—any model who walks knows that you walk to centre stage, then turn and walk back. That's basic."

Meanwhile, Nushrratt was last seen in Vishal Furia's horror film Chhorii 2. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Vikram Malhotra, and Jack Davis, the film is a sequel to Chhorii (2021), and also features Soha Ali Khan, Gashmeer Mahajani, and Saurabh Goyal in key roles. While Soha and Nushrratt were praised for their performances, the lack of jump scares disappointed some fans. The film is available to watch on Prime Video. Nushrratt has yet to announce her next project.

Renuka Shahane REACTS To 8-Hr Shift Debate Amid Deepika's Spirit Exit Row: ‘It's A Choice'
As a mother of two, the 58-year-old actress mentioned knowing many working mothers who handle 18-hour shifts on daily soap sets by bringing their children along. She believes it's their choice, and if producers agree, it's their decision. There should be no pressure, as some mothers might want or need to work those long hours. 'I know of a lot of working mothers who are going to work in daily soaps for 18-hour shifts, and they manage their child by taking them to the set, and kind of raising them practically on the set. It is a choice that they have made and who am I to say anything about that? If the producer accepts that, it's their prerogative. There should not be a compulsion as there might be mothers who want or need to work for 18 hours. It's a very individual thing," she said. Renuka also emphasised the importance of mutual understanding between actors and creators in such situations. She said that moving forward is pointless unless everyone involved shares the same understanding. 'Whenever you decide to sign on the dotted line, that has to be something mutual. And that sense of respect has to be there because if there is no respect, you're not going to be able to work with each other at all," she said. On the work front, Renuka Shahane was last seen in Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar's Marathi film 'Devmanus' which released in theatres on 25th April. She was also seen as Pushplata Yadav in Prime Video series 'Dupahiya' which premiered on 7th March, 2025. Deepika Padukone's Spirit Exit Row Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone recently exited Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit, leading to intense media scrutiny and speculation. Reports suggest the new mom had requested an 8-hour workday, a significant pay-check and profit-sharing, terms that reportedly didn't align with the filmmaker's expectations. While Deepika didn't directly address the exit, she recently posted about staying true to herself, hinting at her priorities as a new mother.

Simple Plan: The Kids in the Crowd OTT Release Date
Simple Plan: The Kids in the Crowd OTT Release Date - If you've ever yelled "I'm Just a Kid!" at the top of your lungs or found comfort in the lyrics of "Welcome to My Life" , there's good news for you. The beloved Canadian pop-punk band Simple Plan is celebrating its 25-year journey with a brand-new documentary titled Simple Plan: The Kids in the Crowd , premiering July 8 on Prime Video. An honest look at a 25-year journey Directed by Didier Charrette, the documentary captures Simple Plan's rise from basement jam sessions in Montreal to sold-out stadiums around the world. The film walks you through their early days as teenagers chasing a dream, the breakthrough success of their debut album No Pads, No Balls, and the rollercoaster that followed, chart-topping singles, personal struggles, creative roadblocks, and eventual resurgence. It's less about stardom and more about what it takes to hold on to friendship, passion, and purpose in an industry that chews people up and spits them out. The film also features a who's who of early-2000s punk rock royalty. You'll see candid appearances and interviews from Mark Hoppus of Blink-182, Avril Lavigne, Dexter Holland and Noodles from The Offspring, Fat Mike of NOFX, and members of Sum 41, Papa Roach, Good Charlotte, and Sugar Ray. Music, memories, and a message Alongside the film, Amazon Music is dropping a full soundtrack, including a rare early demo of 'I'm Just a Kid' and a brand-new single from the band, all releasing the same day as the documentary. For longtime fans, this is a rare treat to hear where it all started and see how far they've come. The band released a statement ahead of the film's release, saying, 'Creating this documentary has been deeply meaningful. It's a story of friendship, brotherhood, and music's transformative power.' They added that they hope the film encourages younger generations to start something of their own, even if it's in a garage or basement like they did.
