Nushrratt Bharuccha Yoga Day 2025 Controversy Explained
Global India Use It | June 23, 2025
The idea behind International Yoga Day is simple: grounding, humility, and balance. But Bollywood actress Nushrratt Bharuccha found herself trending for all the wrong reasons after a moment caught on camera caused an unexpected uproar.
At a Yoga Day gathering, the actress was seen asking a volunteer to help remove her shoes. A tiny moment, easily missed in real life, but once shared online — it exploded.
What Sparked the Nushrratt Bharuccha Yoga Day 2025 Controversy?
The video shows Nushrratt approaching her yoga mat in a public event space. Dressed in workout gear, she looked ready. But instead of bending down, she politely gestured to a nearby volunteer — asking for help with her shoes.
In less than an hour, social media had done its thing. Screenshots, short clips, hashtags — and a storm of opinions flooded every platform.
“Is That What Yoga Teaches?” Ask Netizens
Critics didn’t hold back.
“Yoga is about simplicity, about doing things yourself. If you’re too posh to untie your own laces, why come at all?” one user posted on X.
Another added:
“That volunteer probably came to find peace, not play celebrity assistant.”
What’s surprising is how fast such a short moment turned into a cultural talking point. Was it really arrogance? Or just a misread gesture?
Others Came to Her Defense
Not everyone was critical. Some fans pointed out that celebrities often face wardrobe or mic-wire issues, and maybe she needed quick help.
“She didn’t shout. She didn’t throw a tantrum. She asked kindly. Isn’t that allowed anymore?” asked one user on Instagram.
But the internet, especially on a day celebrating spiritual discipline, was less forgiving than usual.
How Other Celebrities Marked Yoga Day 2025 Without Controversy
While Nushrratt’s moment went viral, stars like Shilpa Shetty, Hina Khan, and Anupam Kher kept things calm. Videos showed them stretching, smiling, and speaking about yoga’s healing power.
PM Modi, from Visakhapatnam, also struck a reflective note:
“Yoga is not about showing off. It is about showing up — for yourself.”
It was a message that resonated deeply — especially in contrast to the viral moment.
So, Why Did This Blow Up?
In today’s digital world, every public moment can turn into a symbol — of pride, of power, or of disconnect. Yoga Day, a celebration of equality and simplicity, didn’t sit well with viewers who saw this act as celebrity entitlement.
At the heart of it, perhaps, is this: People want their icons to be relatable. They want to see stars sweat, stretch, and stumble like the rest of us — especially when barefoot on a yoga mat.
