Nushrratt Bharuccha is facing criticism after a video surfaced showing volunteers untying her shoes at a Yoga Day event in Mumbai. The incident, which occurred on June 21st during an International Yoga Day celebration, has sparked outrage on social media, with many users accusing the actress of promoting "VIP culture" and questioning her humility.
The video, shared by Telly Chakkar and other media outlets, shows Nushrratt standing while volunteers bend down to remove her shoes. This seemingly small act ignited a firestorm of criticism online, with many questioning why she couldn't remove her own shoes, especially at an event centered around discipline and mindfulness.
Social media users were quick to express their disappointment and disapproval. One user commented, "Like really she has come to do yoga but she can't bend and take her shoe off like WOW." Another wrote, "Unbelievable khud k haath nahi hai kya," which translates to "Doesn't she have her own hands?" Others echoed similar sentiments, with one person adding, "It's rude… Can't these so-called celebrities take off their shoes?" Some comments also sarcastically criticized the actress for allegedly letting fame get to her head. One user wrote, "Paisa or fam sir chad gaya hai madam ko yoga karni hai par shoes laces kay liye log chahiye. Madam yoga bhi unhi se karwa lo,” implying that she needs people for tying her shoelaces and should have them do yoga for her too. Another comment highlighted the irony of the situation, questioning why someone else had to remove her shoe if she is that fit.
The backlash comes at a time when discussions around celebrity culture and its impact are increasingly prevalent. Many feel that such actions perpetuate a sense of entitlement and disconnect from everyday realities. The core tenet of Yoga, which emphasizes humility and self-awareness, seems to be in direct contradiction with the actress's action, further fueling the criticism.
This isn't the first time Nushrratt has faced social media scrutiny. Recently, she addressed backlash for a video that showed her moving a fellow model aside at a fashion event. She clarified that the person was a student designer unfamiliar with runway norms and that she was simply following instructions.
As of now, Nushrratt Bharuccha has not responded to the recent backlash regarding the yoga event. It remains to be seen whether she will address the controversy and offer her perspective on the situation. The incident serves as a reminder of the constant scrutiny celebrities face and the importance of mindful behavior, especially when participating in events that promote values like humility and respect.
