Nushrratt Bharuccha issues clarification over weird sounds on Instagram, reveals its source

Mumbai, June 4

Bollywood actress Nushrratt Bharuccha has issued a clarification after her Instagram Stories went viral over alleged weird sounds after the IPL final between RCB and GT.

The actress took to the Stories section of her Instagram on Thursday, and shared screenshots from previous Stories, and penned a long note clarifying that the sounds were made by a puppy.

She wrote, "Kuch logon ne hadh hi kar di hai. Ek puppy ke rone ki awaaz se itna bawaal mach gaya hai and someone has issued a fake clarification also on my behalf. So here's the reality... I was watching the match at my friends house and their young puppy was making these crying 'Sounds'. This is the video made by my friend at the same time with the same sounds from another angle".

She further mentioned, "This is the house where I was watching the match. This is the puppy. This is a video from that very night a while later. Fearing exactly what has happened, I was advised to delete that video and I did. People, calm your wild thoughts down! Owning a mobile phone doesn't empower harrassment. Do not misinterpret or follow blindly. Think and act responsibly (sic)".

Earlier, the actress turned 40 on May 17, and celebrated her birthday in the most stylish and cheerful way possible, surrounded by close friends. The actress took to her social media account to share a carousel of pictures from her intimate birthday bash. The birthday party also marked her reunion with her 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' co-star Ishita Raj.

The two actresses were seen happily posing together, dancing together. In the pictures, Nushrratt looked stunning in a bright pink strappy gown. She was seen dancing barefoot, and having a ball of a time. The birthday party was attended by Bollywood stars Jacqueline Fernandez, Mrunal Thakur, Jaccky Bhagnani, Rakuul Preet Kaur and others.

In one picture, the actress was seen dancing her heart out with Mrunal Thakur.

It's so ridiculous that a grown actress has to issue a public statement about a puppy's noise. But kudos to her for handling it maturely. The real issue is people who blindly spread rumours. Also, love how she celebrated her birthday — very Bollywood-style! 🎉

Seriously? People made such a big deal over a puppy crying? This is why I stay away from Instagram stories. The amount of harassment women face online is insane. Nushrratt did the right thing by clearing the air. Hope the puppy is fine too! 😅

As an outsider, this whole drama seems silly. But I guess it's a lesson in how fast misinformation spreads. At least she had proof. Good on her for setting the record straight. Also, puppy sounds? Cute, actually. 🌸

Listen, I'm not a fan of Bollywood gossip, but this is such a non-issue. People are quick to drag celebs through mud for any random thing. Nushrratt's clarification was clear and needed. Also, her birthday pics were fire — that pink gown was stunning! 🔥

This is peak internet culture. A puppy whines, and suddenly it's a conspiracy. I appreciate Nushrratt for handling it with grace, but why do we need to police every sound in a video? Let people live. Anyway, happy belated birthday to her! 🎂
