Nushrratt Bharuccha Recalls Height Bias During Early Bollywood Auditions

Nushrratt Bharuccha talked about an unfair problem she faced early in her acting career.

She said she was very thin and short when she was younger.

At auditions, actors had to write down details such as their age, gender, and height.

Nushrratt worried that sharing her height would make people reject her.

She said some casting teams believed a girl of her height would not succeed.

This meant talent might not be considered fairly.

She shared this memory in an interview with journalist Nayandeep Rakshit.

Her story highlights how appearance can affect opportunities in acting.
