Public figures often walk a fine line between fame and responsibility, and Actress Nushrratt Bharuccha may have just crossed it. The actress is under strong criticism after a video from the International Yoga Day event in Mumbai went viral, showing her asking a female volunteer to untie her shoelaces, not once, but twice.
The moment, captured on camera, shows Nushrratt standing in her yoga gear, pointing first to one shoe and then to the other, as the volunteer knelt down and assisted her. While the actress appeared calm and composed, the incident didn’t sit well with netizens who quickly called out what they perceived as “entitled” behavior.
Social media platforms were flooded with reactions, with comments ranging from disappointment to outright anger. “Unbelievable! Asking a volunteer to do something so personal and trivial?” wrote one user, while another added, “This is not humility. This is pure arrogance.”
While the actress has yet to respond to the controversy, the moment has opened up a larger conversation about celebrity conduct and the treatment of support staff and volunteers at public events.
Was it a harmless ask or an overstep of privilege? The internet has spoken and it’s not holding back.
