Nushrat also spoke about nepotism saying,
“I don’t really have a take on it. For me, every actor, every talented individual is exactly who they are. It has nothing to do with where they come from and what their surname is. I also feel that people who come from a known family name have an additional pressure of living up to certain legacies, that we don’t.”
“This is unfair to them because everyone deserves an equal opportunity to create their own identity. I understand there are struggles on either side. They face very different struggles that people who have just entered the industry, but it’s a struggle all the same. Art is very intrinsic to who you are, what you make out of it and what you put out there. It doesn’t come from lineage,” added Nushrat.
Nushrat also explored theatre before entering Bollywood. Her father is also a theatre artist. Taking about which one she finds tougher- Bollywood or Theatre, Nushrat said,
“My father loved doing theatre. For me, theatre is definitely more difficult. To be a character for three hours straight in front of a live audience where you can see their reaction and you can hear laughter or silence, I’ll have to admit, it’s scary. There is no concept of a retake. What if I forget a line? I’ll be dead. It’s terrible. I’ll probably freeze and not be able to do anything.”
The actress also wants to be a part of a web series in future. She said,
“I would love to do a web series. I think there is a lot of investment that goes into making a Bollywood film. To ask someone to put in that much money in a movie and to be able to recover it, that’s a huge pressure altogether. So, in a time and space like today, some stories might as well see the light of day in terms of web series too.”
