The actress revealed that when she had auditioned for Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire was appreciated for her acting chops but lost the role as the filmmakers reasoned that her good looks will not match her character, a girl dwelling from the slums. 

The actress recently featured alongside Guru Randhawa for his music video titled Ishq Tera. Talking about the song, Nushrat had earlier told DNA, “I am super-excited about Ishq Tera with my talented friend Guru. It is a lovely song that beautifully captures the emotions of falling in love. I’ve been hooked to it since the time I heard it first and I can’t wait for its release.”
