Actress Nushrratt Bharuccha, who was in Israel to attend the Haifa International Film Festival, has safely returned to Mumbai. Amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, several media reports have highlighted the loss of hundreds of lives.
Upon her arrival at the airport, Nushrratt was mobbed by media personnel who bombarded her with questions about the situation in Israel. The video of this encounter has gone viral, showing the actress appearing somewhat tense. She politely requested the media to allow her to reach her car. Despite her tension, Nushrratt remained composed, though tears were visible in her eyes.
She simply stated, “Mein ghar aagaye hoon… please mujhe ghar jane doo… Gadi ke pass jane doo…” (I have reached home, please let me go home, let me go towards my car).
However, social media users criticized the media for seeking views.
One user wrote, “Kya media wale hain bhai, itni door se aayi thi, thoda relax to karne do, usme hi gusse jaa rahe ho” (What’s up with the media, she came from so far, at least let her relax a bit, you’re getting angry at her for that).
Another user commented, “The media has become a public nuisance! People cannot really understand that she is in shock and needs to come to terms with the fact that she was in a tense situation and now has to calm down. Every damn thing has to go through a media trial. The media is misusing their right of ‘freedom of press.’ For those who are sitting and commenting baselessly, need to note that whether she is doing overacting, etc., the seriousness will only be understood when you go through a similar situation or have seen what the fear of war is! It’s high time people are empathetic to one another… even after a damn pandemic, people don’t realize the value of life!”
The third user wrote, “Literally shame on media people, someone is coming out of an unexpected trauma, and they are not letting her even breathe. Later they will say she’s rude, and this and that… seriously, before judging someone, look at yourself first.
