The conversation gave fans a rare and honest look into how close Nushrratt came to missing her first big opportunity and how a last-minute chance changed the course of her career.
During the video, Nushrratt spoke about Love Sex Aur Dhokha (LSD) and revealed that it was actually her first film. However, what surprised many viewers was the fact that she was initially rejected for the role. According to Nushrratt, the makers had already selected another girl for the part, and she had accepted that she would not be a part of the project.
The film had already gone on floors when an unexpected situation occurred. The actress who was originally selected left the shoot after about 10 days. This created a sudden problem for the filmmakers, as they needed someone who could step into the role quickly and continue shooting without delay.
Nushrratt shared that among all the auditions and shortlisted candidates, she was the closest match for the role. Because of this, the team decided to call her back. When she received the call, it came with difficult conditions. The filmmakers made it very clear that they would not be paying her any money for the role. On top of that, she would have to keep her dates open and be available whenever they called her for the shoot.
For many aspiring actors, such terms would have been disappointing or even discouraging. But Nushrratt saw the situation differently. She knew that opportunities in Bollywood are rare, especially for newcomers with no strong industry backing. Without hesitation, she agreed to the conditions and accepted the film.
Talking to Farah Khan, Nushrratt explained that at that stage of her life, getting work mattered more than money. Although Nushrratt’s role was small, the film became an important starting point for her. It introduced her to the industry and helped her understand how films are made.
After LSD, Nushrratt continued auditioning and working hard. Her real recognition came with Pyaar Ka Punchnama, and then she appeared in Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety.
The film was a massive success, bringing her widespread fame. Her performance was widely discussed, and she finally achieved the level of recognition she had worked so hard for.
During the conversation, Farah Khan praised Nushrratt for her honesty and perseverance. The discussion highlighted how unpredictable the film industry can be and how sometimes success depends on being ready when an unexpected opportunity arises.
