Nushrat Bharucha Fights Back at Trolls Shaming her for High Slit Dress; Gives Bold Statement

Nushrat Bharucha turned quite a few heads at the red carpet when she donned a green thigh-high slit gown at an awards function. Donning a bold emerald green thigh-high slit gown from Yousef Akbar, with a sexy slit of her gown running from her thigh to her waist, she looked drop-dead gorgeous. 

And soon, her outfit became the talk of the town. While many fans lauded her for her bold fashion avatar, many on the other hand trolled her mercilessly and also passed lewd comments against her.

In a recent interview with Filmfare, Nushrat has broken her silence over the controversy around her high slit dress and reacted to all the trolls making noise. 

Speaking about what made her choose the particular outfit, Nushrat told Filmfare:

I think any choice you make and if it resonates with people or it kind of makes heads turn I guess, I don’t know how to say that (smiles)... but the fact that they are praising and liking it is really giving me a pat on the back because it makes me feel like what I like, I’m able to find a connect in a certain audience where they like to see me like that as well and I’m probably experimenting right. It just gives me a lot of more confidence to kind of do more such looks, to kind of push the envelope where I feel it and where I would like to.

On being asked whether she was nervous before donning the bold outfit, she answered with a no, as she stated that she very well knew what she was wearing what was the right kind of walk or pose. 

I don’t think I was nervous. I have done songs like ‘Chote Chote Peg’ where my slits were equally high and I have danced in it in a studio with so many people around. I feel at some point, as an artist, you got to lose certain inhibitions and just be aware and sure of how you are carrying yourself. Once you have that confidence, nervousness just automatically kind of takes a back seat. So I was not nervous but I was very aware of how I’m being pictured and how I’m carrying the outfit.

- Nushrat says

Reacting to the trolls and all the nasty comments that arose against her outfit, she gave out a bold response, and stated that her outfit is like her voice saying “this is who I want to be and this is what I want to do.”

You know today social media is at such a boom and it’s not that we didn’t anticipate. It’s chaotic really, we don’t have a structure in it, and we don’t have control over it. And rightly so, I mean today everybody’s entitled to have a point of view and opinion. So there are people who like it and there are who don’t like it. Those who don’t like it definitely have the right to voice their opinions and say that ‘we don’t like it’. And I respect everyone’s opinions on it, absolutely fine no problem. Just like I would like my opinion and voice respected as well. The fact that I’m wearing an outfit like this is also a voice of mine saying ‘this is who I want to be and this is what I want to do’ and I would like that to be respected. So honestly, I don’t get affected. I don’t even read any of the trolls and comments because I do what makes me, me and I put myself out there. It’s totally your right to like it or not like it, that’s your opinion completely.
