The diva was talking about 'Dream Girl 2'. Bharuccha was a part of 'Dream Girl' opposite Ayushmann Khurrana. The film went on to do big numbers and was a commercial success. When the second instalment of the film was announced, everyone was shocked to see Nushrratt being replaced by Ananya Panday.

"It hurt me even more when I was not part of my own sequel also, when every other actor was the samewhich I felt was, not cool naa, guys? Just not cool. But, theek hai, no problem," she asked in the interview.

On being asked if she went upto the makers to question their decision, the 'Akeli' actress said she wouldn't fight over something that isn't going to change. "I can't fight something I know is not going to change in any way; what do I fight? What am I going to say? 'Why not me?' They'll say, 'because we don't want you.' That's the truth of it; it ends there. Eventually, it's the choice somebody's making, right? I cannot question your choice," she said.

This is not the first time that Nushrratt has spoken about being thrown out of the film opposite Ayushmann Khurrana. "I was a part of Dream Girl 1, and I love that whole team. I terribly miss working with them. But why didn't they cast me in Dream Girl 2? I think only they can answer. I don't know; there is no logic, and there is no answer to it. But why didn't they cast me? I am a human being, so of course it hurts. And, of course, it feels unfair. But I get it, it is their decision. Cool, no problem," she had told ETimes back in 2023 too.
