Nushrratt Bharuccha was advised not to do Pyaar Ka Punchnama

The epic comedy, ‘Pyaar ka Punchnama’ was although released 10 years ago, but is as fresh as new even today. This movie was a kickstart for many of the shining stars now, including Nushrratt Bharuccha. She has expresses her gratitude for the film and the character that put her on the map of the film industry. She portrayed the role of Neha in the film who was a mean and foxy girlfriend. The audience appreciated her performance that went on to become one of the most memorable performances of all time.

Expressing her gratitude, Nushrratt says, “When I look back to the time we were shooting for Pyaar Ka Punchnama – none of us had the faintest clue what wonders this film will do for us, or even how this film will eventually turn into a power-packed franchise. Playing the controlling and manipulative girlfriend like Neha, was so not me in real life, which made it even more difficult for me to understand her and essay her right.”

Nushrratt further told that a lot of people said that they advised her to not to do the film. She  adds, “A lot of people then advised me to not do this film and wait for another better opportunity because this film had no known faces, a first time director, first time producer, the whole team was new. But PKP opened up a world of opportunities for me, and ‘Neha’ literally marked me on the map of the industry and created a unique identity for the audience to remember me by. I truly believe in Destiny, and that the Universe has a larger plan for each of us. Which is why I can honestly say, The film chose me, I didn’t choose the film. It was meant to be this way.”
