Meanwhile, in an interview, talking about getting replaced in 'Dream Girl 2' despite getting praised for her role, Nushrratt said, "You'll have to ask the makers of the film that question. I really didn't have the heart to ask them, 'Why did you not take me?' I couldn't. I just said, okay, they didn't ask me, it's okay. As I said, I've become very accepting. It applies to all aspects. I've accepted, so no stress."

Actress Nushrratt Bharuccha recently recounted an unfortunate incident on the sets of the film when she was left injured. It happened during the shoot of an action packed escape scene in the film when she fell hard on the marble floor and felt as if she's going to have a head concussion. The intensity of pain was such that she sat right on that spot holding her head, crying for almost half an hour. After getting examined by a doctor, Nushrratt was advised to take rest for a couple of days after which she resumed the shoot.
Recalling what exactly happened, Nushrratt said: "We were shooting for the scene where I try to escape from captivity from ISIS. I fell and hit the marble floor and the pain was so hard that I really thought that I've got a concussion and something has been damaged internally."
The actress shared that the impact was so bad that for a minute she thought she was going to die and it felt like her last moment.
