Nushrratt Bharuccha uploaded an Instagram Story celebrating RCB's win in IPL 2026; however, the video raised eyebrows after many assumed they heard moaning sounds in the background. Issuing a clarification, she shared a video on her Instagram Story and stated, “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 friend's 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.”
