Having gained recognition with her blockbuster songs like Dilbar and O Saki Saki, Nora Fatehi has been climbing the ladder of success every day. An established actress and dancer, she has been making a name for herself in the entertainment industry with her dance moves, fashion statements, and versatile performances. Currently enjoying the success of her recently released Kunal Kemmu’s debut directorial Madgaon Express, she opened up about her challenging journey in Mumbai during the initial phase of her career. From sharing an apartment with nine girls to following a diet of only eggs and bread, Nora made some shocking revelations.
In an interview with Mashable India, during the new episode of The Bombay Journey, the 32-year-old actress revealed that she arrived in India with only Rs 5000 in her pocket. She recalled that she lived in a 3BHK apartment with 9 other girls and would often question what she had got herself into during her stay there. Opening up about the traumatising experience, Nora said, “I lived with nine psychopaths in a three BHK apartment where I shared the room with two other girls. During my stay there, I used to think, ‘What have I got myself into?’ I am still traumatised.” ALSO READ: Nora Fatehi’s Co-Star SLAPPED Her, Pulled Her Hair During The Shoot Of ‘Roar: Tiger of the Sunderbans’; Actress Once Recalled The Horrifying Incident
The Bigg Boss season 9 wildcard contest went on to share how she and other newcomers were exploited by agencies. They would deduct significant amounts of money from the salaries, leaving the aspirants with basically nothing to survive on. Quoted by the Hindustan Times, Nora shared, “What used to happen was that the agency would make money out of you. They cut the pocket money, they pay the rent from that, they cut their commission, the air you breathe, and then they give you jo reh gaya (whatever is left) which is nothing. So we were on a diet of like one egg, nutella and bread and milk every day. It was really bad. Some of these agencies they exploit people so badly. We don't have laws and regulations for these things. I am serious I need therapy for that time. It was a rough time.” ALSO READ: Nora Fatehi Brutally TROLLED For Her ‘Vulgar Twerk’ On A Dance Show; Netizens Say, ‘And This Is Supposed To Be A Family Show’- WATCH
