Nushrratt Bharuccha opened up about being a liberal Muslim and why she refuses to conform to anyone’s expectations. Nushrratt Bharuccha has often been subjected to harsh criticism over her personal beliefs and lifestyle choices, particularly around her clothing and her visits to temples. However, the actress remains firm in her faith and unshaken by online judgment.
In a recent interview with Shubhankar Mishra, she opened up about being a liberal Muslim and why she refuses to conform to anyone’s expectations. “For me, my faith is real. Unreal things happen, and that’s what strengthens my belief.
That’s why I’m still connected, still strong, and I know I have to follow this path," she said, emphasising that her connection to religion is deeply personal. She also spoke about how her family believes in the freedom to practice faith individually, without enforcing it on others. Encouraging spiritual inclusivity, Nushrratt shared, “Wherever you find peace whether it’s in a mandir, a gurudwara or a church, you should go there.
I even say this openly: I pray namaz. If I get time, I pray five times a day. I even carry my prayer mat while travelling.
Wherever I go, I find the same peace and calm. I’ve always believed there’s one God, and different paths to connect with Him. And I want to explore all those paths.
" The Pyaar Ka Punchnama star further addressed how her appearance and beliefs are constantly questioned online. “Whether it’s about my clothes or where I go, I’ve faced comments. When I post my picture, people ask, ‘What kind of Muslim is she? Look at her clothes.
’ How do I handle it? Just like any other criticism," she said, noting that criticism comes not only for her faith but also her professional and personal choices. Despite the trolling, Nushrratt remains unaffected. “It doesn’t change me.
It won’t stop me from going to a temple or praying namaz. I’ll keep doing both. Because that’s my faith.
When you’re clear in your thoughts, spirit, and mind, no one in the world can shake you," she said..
