Nora Fatehi
Nora Fatehi, initially known for her sizzling item numbers in Bollywood, has evolved into a versatile performer. With her exceptional dancing skills and striking presence, she gained fame through hits like Dilbar and Kamariya.
Over the years, Nora has successfully diversified into acting, music videos, and even international projects, establishing herself as a global icon. Her journey reflects perseverance, talent, and the ability to reinvent herself in an ever-evolving industry. However, her journey from a nobody to a celebrity wasn’t a cakewalk.
Recently, Nora Fatehi revealed how she was cheated by producers who tricked her in exchange of future roles.
Speaking to BBC Asian Network on being cheated, Nora revealed, “I stopped being so sensitive. I stopped crying about things because I was a crier. I’d be hurt by a rejection, by doors not opening, by gossip people would say about me really, really hurt me.”
“I stopped relying on people. I stopped relying on agencies, producers, and directors. Some of them would come to me and say, ‘Hey, can you do a song for in a film of mine as a favour and we’d promise you a role in our next me.’ And they would never do that,” she continued.
“You know how many directors have done that to me, and they disappeared. So now, I’ve stopped relying on them. I’ll do it if I want to. I don’t want anything in return. And that’s how I’m rolling,” the actress revealed.
Although, Nora appreciates the work that other women are doing in the film industry, she detested her name being used as a marketing tool. She revealed about being compared to every new ‘item girl’ and said that she doesn’t like comparing herself to anyone.
“My logic is, okay cool, everyone should be allowed to films and songs because artists are multi-dimensional. But, it should be fair for everybody,” Nora concluded.
