Nora Fatehi was a breath of new air in the Bollywood industry. The actress’s maneuvers, which were completely based on her talent, wowed everyone. One song after another, she demonstrated that no one in the industry can dance with such conviction and still look attractive. She then moved on to music videos and, more recently, films. We got down for a talk with her about how her world has developed over time in Mumbai, with everything going her way and her social media bustling with comments and likes from millions of supporters all over the world.
1. You have 32 million Instagram followers, making you one of Bollywood’s most popular celebrities; how does it feel to be surrounded by so much love?
It’s both bizarre and satisfying. People’s love is what motivates me, and I am grateful for their support. My Instagram is incredibly personal to me because I developed it from the ground up. I’m in charge of the content, feel and aesthetics, and I’m proud of my Instagram. My fans and the media just hailed me as the world’s most popular Arab African artist, which felt like a big accomplishment, and it’s only the beginning for me and my fandom.
2. It’s been a long road for you from wanting to be an actor to actually becoming one. What kind of effort and time went into this transition? Please walk us through it…
It necessitates unwavering dedication and tenacity. The trip has been and continues to be difficult, but I am making progress. It’s a mash-up of various factors. Working on my craft as an actor and performer on a continuous basis, as well as working on the language and developing myself as a brand. I know I’m capable of a lot in the acting field as I learn more about myself and grow as an actor, and I know I will.
3. You’ve appeared in a number of hit songs; how different do you think acting in a music video is from acting in a film?
They both have their own set of problems, yet they’re extremely similar. In order to keep the audience captivated and engaged for 3 minutes, I have to embody a lot of things in a song. With the eyes, facial emotions, and body language, one must emote every syllable while also performing some powerful and visually amazing dance maneuvers.
