Nushrratt Bharuccha REACTS To Criticism For Moving Model Aside At Lakme Fashion Week

Last Updated:
Nushrratt Bharuccha addressed the viral clip from Lakme Fashion Week 2025, explaining she moved a designer, not a model, aside on the runway.
It's been a few months since a clip of Nushrratt Bharuccha at Lakme Fashion Week 2025 went viral like crazy. The actress, who closed the show for NIF Global on Day 2 of the event in March, was caught on camera moving a young model aside on the runway. This led to a lot of controversy as many criticised her.
The video shows Nushrratt arriving at the end of the ramp, appearing visibly focused, before placing her hands on a girl's shoulders and gently shifting her out of the centre. While the girl gave a polite smile, Nushrratt's lack of interaction and the way she later positioned two others in front of her outraged many.
Now, breaking her silence in an interview with Yuvaa, Nushrratt addressed the online backlash, saying, 'She wasn't even a model—she was one of the designers, one of the children from the NIF class, jisko ramp show, centre stage nahi pata tha. Kya karu mein?"
'She was standing in the centre, there was loud music, and mujhe piche se bola gaya tha, 'Aap aapni jagah pe jake bane hojao.' Aur kaise jagah banau? How do I do it? Forget being a showstopper—any model who walks knows that she walks to centre stage, then turns and walks back. Woh toh basic hai," added Nushrratt.
Nushrratt Bharuccha had turned showstopper in a striking, layered ensemble designed by 19-year-olds Ananya Mutta and Himanshi Garg from NIF Global, Gandhinagar. The Pyaar Ka Punchnama actress was seen confidently walking the ramp when she encountered a model standing in her path. Rather than taking a detour, Nushrratt casually held the model from behind and guided her aside.
Many found Nushrratt's gesture to be rude.
Take a look:
Professionally, Nushrratt Bharuccha's most recent outing was in Chhorii 2, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video on April 11. The horror sequel featured her alongside Soha Ali Khan, Gashmeer Mahajani, and Saurabh Goyal.
Chhorii 2, directed by Vishal Furia, is the follow-up to the 2021 horror film Chhorii and continues the spine-chilling story that first brought Nushrratt into the horror spotlight.

Ahead of M3gan 2.0 release date, actress Allison Williams reveals her worry about AI replacing humans

In M3gan 2.0, the sequel to the sci-fi horror M3gan, actress Allison Williams returns as Gemma. She plays a roboticist who now fights against unsafe AI after her earlier creation turns deadly. Ahead of the M3gan 2.0 release date, she spoke to The Guardian. When asked if she fears AI replacing actors, Williams reveals about her 'worrying' nature. 'If you ask me any question that starts with: 'Are you worried?' the answer is always yes, because I have an endless capacity to be worried about things,' she told The Guardian. Anyway, she believes humans may eventually be replaced. She thinks AI still can't fully copy true human creativity, at least not yet. While she is worried about AI replacing artists, it's way down on the list. Williams has a deep interest in AI and even knows OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman. While researching for her character Gemma, she spoke to robotics experts. M3gan also questions children's exposure to tech. Williams, a mother, recalls using ChatGPT to explain rocket launches to her 3-year-old son. His excited reaction made her realise how quickly kids get hooked on tech. She immediately felt uneasy and decided it'd be better to use books next time. After her parents die in a car crash, eight-year-old Cady moves in with her aunt Gemma, who works at a toy company in Seattle. Gemma has been secretly building M3gan, a life-size robot doll powered by AI. It is meant to be a perfect friend for kids. When M3gan is paired with Cady, it works better than expected. But, soon, M3gan becomes too protective, killing anything that seems like a threat to Cady. As Gemma realises the danger, she tries to shut M3gan down. But, it fights back, even killing Gemma's boss and trying to attack Gemma and Cady at home. In the final fight, Cady and Gemma destroy M3gan using another robot. Though M3gan seems gone, a camera in the house switches on mysteriously, hinting she may still be active. M3gan can be watched on OTT platforms, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.
