In an exclusive interview with PeepingMoon, Nushrratt Bharuccha got candid about the risk of playing a ‘maid’ in Ajeeb Daastaans’ short ‘Khilauna’, shedding her ‘glamorous girl’ image, losing an international project for being ‘too pretty’ and shooting for Akshay Kumar’s ‘Ram Setu’!

Talking about her role, Nushrratt said, "Have never tried to break out of the ‘glamorous girl’ image. Did not do ‘Ajeeb Daastaans’ to shed that image. I have never tried to break out from something or fit into something. I started my journey from LSD in which I played a non-glamorous role."
