what was nusrat doing in israel

Nushrratt Bharuccha was in Israel to attend the Haifa International Film Festival, where her film Akelli was being screened. She later became stranded there when the war broke out and was brought back to India safely.

Quick Scoop

• She had traveled for the film festival, not for a political visit.

• Reports say she was in Haifa for the premiere/screening of Akelli.

• Her team said they lost contact with her briefly during the attacks, and the Indian Embassy helped with her return.

What happened

News coverage from October 2023 says she was caught in Israel during the Hamas attack and later returned to India.

So the short answer is: she was there for a film festival appearance, and then got stuck because of the conflict.

If you want, I can also give you a very short “forum-style” version of this answer.
