Mumbai, April 19 (NationPress) Actress Nushrratt Bharuccha expressed her initial doubts regarding her participation in the sequel "Chhorii 2".

In a candid discussion with IANS, Nushrratt was questioned about her hesitation when director Vishal Furia prompted her to begin preparations for the follow-up film.

To this, the actress responded, "From the opening scene of the first film, the character was subjected to continuous torment and was always in tears - I said, sir, 'Chhorii' hasn't even premiered yet, and you're already asking me to get ready for the sequel. I requested him - Sir, please allow me some time to breathe."

Nushrratt emphasized that after completing a film like "Chhorii", taking a break is essential. She remarked, "Films of this nature are quite intense; they aren’t simple to execute. I have always been the type who immerses herself in a film and its character until the end - I want to embody that character, deliver those lines, and immerse myself in that universe. Absorbing the entirety of that cinematic experience can be overwhelming. I can't just stop being Nushrratt, so I must navigate my personal challenges as well. All of this accumulates and can weigh heavily on you. Taking a break is essential; you need to feel light - devoid of stress for a while."

Previously, Nushrratt described her journey into motherhood in "Chhorii 2" as a deeply emotional one.

She disclosed that stepping into the role of a mother for this sequel brought her through a profound and intense emotional experience.

“While filming 'Chhorii 1,' I was concerned that I wouldn’t convincingly portray an eight-month-pregnant woman. However, the emotional depth of playing a mother went far beyond just the appearance. It became one of the most challenging roles I’ve undertaken because I wasn’t sure where the line was drawn, how much was excessive, or how little was insufficient. Fortunately, Vishal Sir provided invaluable guidance that helped me strike the right balance," Nushrratt shared.
