Before Pyaar Ka Punchnama bikini scene, Nushrratt Bharuccha went on a solo foreign trip so she could wear swimwear ‘day and night’: ‘Kabhi pehna nahi tha’

The actor expressed her concern to the director Luv Ranjan. “So, I was telling Luv sir that my biggest problem is that even if I wear it, I won’t be able to feel comfortable in it. How will I contribute to your shot? I have to feel okay doing it internally, I haven’t owned it yet. I need to be able to experience and own it to do it.”

Nushrratt came to a solution by going on an international holiday alone. “Maine ek solo trip maar li abroad (I went on an international solo trip). Because, you can’t really wear a bikini and roam around in India, let’s be realistic. I wore bikinis for three days, from morning till night. In the hotel, swimming pool, beach, everywhere. I would do an overthrow and go in a bikini everywhere.”

She further added, “I did it consciously because I wanted to break my own mind, tabboo, or consciousness of it, by saying that I am roaming in a bikini. It is so liberating. In the middle of the second day, I had forgotten that I was in a bikini, it just felt normal. Haan main yahi toh pehenke ghoom rahi hu, isme kya hai? I wanted to get over the fixation I have about it.”

On the work front, Nushrratt Bharuccha was last seen in Amazon Prime Video’s horror thriller film Chhorii 2, alongside Soha Ali Khan.
