“I Am a Muslim and I Pray”: Bollywood Actress Nushrratt Bharuccha Responds to Critics
Mumbai: Popular Bollywood actress Nushrratt Bharuccha has responded to the criticism she faces in India for being a practicing Muslim, emphasizing that her faith is personal and genuine.
In a recent interview, the Chhorii star opened up about her religious beliefs and the backlash she often receives online. She said, “For me, faith is a deeply personal and real experience. When extraordinary things happen, my belief only strengthens.”
Nushrratt shared that she finds peace in various places of worship. “Wherever I feel peace — whether it’s a temple, a gurdwara, or a church — I go there. I openly say that I pray, and if I have time, I perform all five daily prayers. I even carry a prayer mat with me when I travel,” she added.
Addressing the social media criticism about her clothing and public image, she said, “When I post pictures, people say, ‘What kind of Muslim is she? Look at her clothes.’ But such comments will not change my path. I will go to temples and I will also pray.”
The actress concluded by saying she believes in one God and seeks to connect with Him through different paths.
