Actress Nushrratt Bharuccha has opened up about the backlash she faced last year for visiting the Kedarnath and Badrinath temples, despite being a Muslim. In a candid conversation with journalist Shubhankar Mishra, the Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety star spoke from the heart about her personal faith, the liberal values her family instilled in her, and how she chooses to stay grounded in her beliefs regardless of public perception.
Nushrratt Bharuccha breaks silence on trolls over her Kedarnath visit; says, “It won’t stop me from praying namaz or going to a temple”
“For me, my faith is real. Unreal things happen, and that’s what strengthens my belief. That’s why I’m still connected, still strong, and I know I have to follow this path,” she said, explaining that her connection to spirituality goes beyond religion and is deeply rooted in personal experience.
The actress, who has frequently been targeted online for her temple visits, explained that her spirituality allows her to find peace in all places of worship. “Wherever you find peace – whether it’s in a mandir, a gurudwara or a church – you should go there. I even say this openly: I pray namaz. If I get time, I pray five times a day. I even carry my prayer mat while travelling. Wherever I go, I find the same peace and calm. I’ve always believed there’s one God, and different paths to connect with him. And I want to explore all those paths.”
Nushrratt emphasized that her family has always believed that religion is personal and must be practiced with sincerity and openness. Yet, the criticism she receives – especially over her appearance or choices – has not gone unnoticed. “Whether it’s about my clothes or where I go, I’ve faced comments. When I post my picture, people ask, ‘What kind of Muslim is she? Look at her clothes.’ How do I handle it? Just like any other criticism,” she shared.
Despite the trolling, the actress remains unfazed. “It doesn’t change me. It won’t stop me from going to a temple or praying namaz. I’ll keep doing both. Because that’s my faith. When you’re clear in your thoughts, spirit, and mind, no one in the world can shake you.”
Nushrratt’s comments have struck a chord with many who advocate for religious freedom and mutual respect. Her words highlight not just her resilience but also the importance of spiritual liberty in today’s world.
