Nushrratt on her bikini trouble
Nushrratt looked back at her decision to wear a bikini in the film during a conversation with Hauterrfly. Nushrratt said, “For me, it has always been about real-life experience translating into my on-screen performance. I hadn’t worn a bikini before, and I knew I would be uncomfortable in front of the camera. I told Luv sir (director Luv Ranjan), ‘Even if I wear it, I’ll be stiff and awkward. How can you get a natural shot if internally I’m not okay with it?’ I realised I needed to truly own it first.”
To break free from her inhibitions, Nushrratt took a solo trip abroad, because she felt that one can’t “exactly roam around Mumbai wearing a bikini”. She shared that she needed to break the internal consciousness in my mind, to normalise it for herself.
She added, “By the second day, I forgot that I was in a bikini. It had just become normal. It had become normal that, yes, I was wearing this. I am a woman. What’s wrong with that? From morning to night, I literally purposely wore bikinis. Just to get over the whole fixation I have about it… I did it consciously because I wanted to break my own mind and my own taboo or consciousness of it by saying, I am roaming in a bikini”. She added that wearing a bikini felt liberating to her.
