“'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' was mainly a boys' film; we girls were just a cat...” — Nushrat Bharucha Quote

'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' was mainly a boys' film; we girls were just a catalyst. We would set up a situation for them to react to, and the joke would come on us. The applause was for the boys. But, the film paved the way for me in the industry.

I am an extremely greedy actor. I want to do all sorts of roles.

I would rather do four films and be remembered for them than do 20 forgettable ones.

One should be alert and know how to defend oneself in case something untoward happens.

An actor is most vulnerable at the lowest point of his career.

We all know that much of what we hear in life is not really so. Canned laughter and 'sweetened' applause have been TV staples for decades, and all the slamming doors, breaking glass and squealing tires you hear in movies are sound effects.

I really feel like social media - it's like all these tiny stages that you put yourself on. And you come to rely on these likes and favorites, and it's this applause and this validation that you start to need. Then it's like you don't know how to soothe yourself, and I think it's very pernicious.

We should welcome applause whenever it comes.

I like audiences and performing and, you know... applause!
