After playing glamorous parts in quintessential commercial films, Nushrratt Bharuccha gradually moved towards content-driven movies that revolved around social issues. In Janhit Mein Jaari, which released yesterday, the actress is seen in a similar light, but this time around, she goes that extra mile as she takes on an unconventional subject that has her playing a condom saleswoman. In a conversation with us, Nushrratt talks about taking on hatke characters and the new turn in her career. Excerpts:
MY JOURNEY HASN’T BEEN EASY AND THERE WERE EMOTIONAL SETBACKS ALONG THE WAY. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERED FOR A MOVIE, BUT THINGS DON’T WORK OUT, THEN IT’S FINE, BUT WHAT HURTS IS WHEN YOU ARE NOT EVEN CONSIDERED FOR A PROJECT
In Janhit Mein Jaari, you play the role of a saleswoman appointed to sell condoms. How did you react to this role and weren’t you sceptical of playing the part considering it revolved around sex and condoms – subjects that are still fairly taboo in our country?
