One Of The Toughest Roles I’ve Taken On: Nushrratt Bharuccha Returns As Sakshi Chhorii 2
Prime Video’s Chhorii 2 has been widely appreciated by audiences, earning praise for its compelling storytelling and eerie atmosphere. Building on the legacy of the first film, the sequel has struck a chord with horror cinema enthusiasts for the way it expands the story’s universe. At the centre of it is Nushrratt Bharuccha whose raw and layered portrayal of Sakshi - a mother navigating terror, trauma, and supernatural forces has been especially impactful. Reflecting on the challenges of embodying motherhood so authentically, Nushrratt shares how the experience stretched her emotionally, drawing on lessons from the first film while diving even deeper into the psyche of her character. With vulnerability, strength, and a sense of eerie conviction, she brings Sakshi’s story to life in a performance that’s as haunting as it is heartfelt.

Reflecting on her journey with Chhorii, Nushrratt Bharuccha shared, “When we were shooting Chhorii 1, I was worried I wouldn't be able to convince the audience that I was an eight months pregnant woman. But playing a mother went so much deeper than just the look. Emotionally, it was one of the toughest roles I’ve taken on because I didn’t know where the line was, how much was too much, or how little was too little. Thankfully, Vishal Sir really guided me through that and helped me find the balance. I’ve carried that learning into Chhorii 2, which is even more intense and demanding in its own way. Delving into the depths of motherhood for Chhorii 2 was an emotional experience. As the world of the film expanded, our dedication to authenticity on set only grew, ultimately bringing the powerful message of the story to life.”

While talking about supernatural forces, Nushrratt added, “Some things in life just don’t have clear explanations. I do believe there are energies beyond what we can see or understand—both good and evil. Thankfully, I haven’t experienced anything supernatural myself, but I’ve always felt that these forces exist around us in ways we may never fully comprehend.”

Produced by T-Series, Abundantia Entertainment, Psych, and Tamarisk Lane Production, the horror thriller film is directed by Vishal Furia, featuring the stellar Nushrratt Bharuccha and Soha Ali Khan in lead roles. The film is now streaming on Prime Video and over 240 countries and territories worldwide.
