While acknowledging that change is gradual, she emphasised that female-led films that truly connect with audiences can still find success.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Nushrratt Bharuccha reflected on why male-dominated films tend to perform better. She noted, \u201cThey are made less. Males constitute the majority of the population in our country. Change doesn\u2019t happen instantly; it will take time. But it will definitely happen. Films about women that resonate with audiences tend to perform well. Mimi, Chhori, Dream Girl, Akeli, and Pink all did well. Heroism isn\u2019t gender-based. Females can also act as heroes, though it\u2019s rarely portrayed in our country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Nushrratt Bharuccha On Her Struggles In Bollywood<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Speaking about the hurdles women face in Bollywood, Nushrratt Bharuccha revealed that it\u2019s especially challenging for female actors. As an outsider who entered the industry through auditions, her journey has been particularly meaningful to her. She shared that she began her Bollywood career with comedy, which led to certain stereotypes. \u201cWhen I did Pyaar Ka Punchnama, my performance was seen as a joke. People thought I was only suited for commercial films. But when Chhori came along, I grabbed the opportunity and changed those perceptions,&#8221; the actress said at the Agenda Aaj Tak 2025 event.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Nushrratt Bharuccha Leads Female-Dominated Projects<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Nushrratt Bharuccha recently made waves with her OTT film Chhori 2, earning praise for her nuanced performance and expanding perceptions of her acting range. Directed by Vishal Furia, the film sees Nushrratt reprise her role as Sakshi, a mother fiercely protecting her daughter Ishaani from malevolent supernatural forces. She is joined by Soha Ali Khan, who marks her acting comeback, alongside Gashmeer Mahajan and Hardika Sharma in this gripping thriller.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">In addition to Chhori 2, Nushrratt has been part of successful commercial films like Dream Girl and Mimi, showcasing her ability to balance mainstream appeal with content-driven cinema. Next up, she has a project with acclaimed filmmaker Neeraj Pandey. The film is slated for release next year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/dlxczavtqcctuei\/news18\/static\/images\/english\/google-color.svg\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" alt=\"\" class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3\"\/>Click here to add News18 as your preferred news source on Google.
