In today's world, keeping up with social media and paparazzi culture has become an inseparable part of an actor’s life. More often than not, their interactions with photographers make headlines and take the internet by storm.

At a recent award function, Mrunal Thakur shut down paps when they asked her for a back pose, while Palak Tiwari reprimanded the shutterbugs for clicking her from behind despite her request not to. However, Nora Fatehi, who has often been spotted getting captured by the shutterbugs, remains unfazed by the pap culture.
In an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, Nora addressed their behavior, saying, “I guess they’ve never seen a butt like that before. It is what it is. The media doesn’t just do it to me but to other female actors also. Maybe they don’t zoom into their butt because it’s not exciting, but they zoom into their other body parts unnecessarily. Sometimes, I think that there’s nothing to zoom into, so what are they focusing on?” ALSO READ: SHOCKING!

Conversations about her undergoing surgery often grab headlines. But Nora says that she never lets talks about her body get to her. In fact, she reveals being extremely comfortable in her skin. “These are unfortunately the things that trend on social media. They’re just playing the social media algorithm game. I’m blessed with a good body and I’m proud of it and my assets. I’m not ashamed of it,” says the "Madgaon Express" actor.
So, how does she deal with this side of the media? “Their intention (photographers) behind zooming in is maybe wrong but that’s a separate conversation. I can’t grab each person and teach them a lesson. But I still move around the way I move and I’m very confident in my body,” the actor, who will next be seen in "Be Happy" and "Matka," remarks.
Nora has often been dubbed as a glam diva with sizzling dance numbers like "Dilbar," "Kusu," "Kamariya," "O Saki Saki," and "Jedah Nasha" to her credit. In fact, she recently spoke about how being an eye candy is a perception she wanted to break, especially on the sets of Madgaon Express.
Reacting to it, she tells us, “I feel both beauty and ignorance are in the eye of the beholder. A lot of the people I’m working with appreciate my story, how I came up, what I brought to the industry, and my brand. Some people may not know much about me and it may take some time for them to break the ice. But anyone who I’ve worked with has always come out having a lot of respect for me and I appreciate that. They know that I’m very serious about what I do and my work ethic is top-notch.”
