Nushrrat Bharuccha who started her journey from film, Pyaar ka Punchnama 2 and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety gain momentum in her Carrer after lots of struggle as compared to other Celeb kids who debuted the same year. Talking about the film opportunities and struggle Nushrrat stated that her journey is more challenging as compared to others.  In Shubhamkar Mishra's podcast Nushrrat Bharuccha stated that Sonakshi and Shraddha had an advantage as they and their family know the industry and have connections. 

"If not them, their parents do or some or the other connection know. Toh hota kya hai, woh unn jagah pe pahunch jaate hain jahan main pahunch nahi paati. Woh unn darwazon pe khatkhata sakte hain jahan ka mujhe address bhi nahi pata shayad. Ye bohot practical problem hai, but ye real hai," she added.She continued, "When I did Pyaar Ka Punchnama, I wanted to message a director I really wanted to work with, number kahan se laun? How do I meet that person? Uss waqt I texted director Kabir Khan, thinking kya pata woh reply karenge ya nahi. He replied, and that made my month. He said, 'Milne aajao.' I was so happy."

The actress admitted that it is especially tough for outsiders to even get a filmmaker's number or land a meeting. While she refrains from labeling star kids as 'nepo kids,' acknowledging that they too face their own set of struggles and pressures, she added, "Unko opportunities, aur in-roads mil jate, jo humko nahi milte." Further expressing her gratitude, Nushrratt added, "I feel like, yes, I would’ve loved more opportunities, I would’ve liked more yes than no's. I would’ve liked to hear more reasons why not me and someone else. But I’m still very happy with all the films I did get. Main 20 saal mein 10 pictures karke bhi khush hoon."

The actress conceded that breaking into the film industry is significantly harder for those without connections, making it difficult to even secure meetings with filmmakers. While avoiding the term "nepo kids," she acknowledged the advantages star children possess: "They get opportunities and inroads that we don't." Nushrratt expressed gratitude for her career, stating, "I would have loved more opportunities and fewer rejections, along with clearer explanations for casting decisions. But I'm still content with the films I've done. I'm happy with doing 10 films in 20 years."
