Nushrratt Bharuccha has never been one to shy away from uncomfortable conversations, and her latest remarks on ambition and opportunism underline exactly why she continues to stand out in the industry. Speaking candidly at a recent event, the actor addressed the often-criticised label of being an “opportunist" and reframed it with clarity, honesty, and lived experience.

Taking ownership of the term, Nushrratt questioned why ambition is so often viewed with suspicion. Reflecting on her journey, she said, “I’m an opportunist too.

And that’s not a bad thing."
