For the unversed, both the actresses are amazing dancers, loved by the audience for their fluid body language. They have also judged several dance reality shows together. Talking about how the constant comparisons ‘water down’ their identities, Nora said, “Malaika has done things I could never do—you are part of the growing legacy of Bollywood, that was a golden time. We talk about the time; we don’t talk about today. It’s not just disrespectful for you, it’s disrespectful for me, because it takes away from the things that I am doing.” ALSO READ: Karan Johar Talks About Malaika Arora's Sex Life, Asks If She Is Into Toys; Filmmaker Recalls, ‘I Tried Role-Play Once, Wanted To Be Singham’

When the 30-year-old asked the older actress if she ever felt bad because of it, Malaika shared, “I’m human at the end of the day. There are days at the end of the day when I say, ‘Oh that job could have been mine and now someone else has it.’ That happens all the time. Things like that can break you. You know that someone out there is prettier and younger, and you have to deal with that.”
She went on to express that at the end of the day, she has many girls come and go from the industry but she has managed to maintain her place in the industry. Talking about the constant comparisons Nora said, “When they compare, I think if I went through half the sh*t that you went through in your career, I would want people to salute me.”
