Nora Fatehi was recently seen in Madgaon Express.
Nora Fatehi says that she’s proud of her body and ‘assets’. She adds that she remains unfazed with photographers ‘zooming in’ on her bu*t as she can’t school them.
Keeping up with social media and paparazzi culture has become an inseparable part of an actor’s life today. More often than not, their fun banters with photographers make headlines and take the internet by storm. However, of late, many female actors have been calling them out for being intrusive and zooming in on their bodies.
Recently, at an award function, Mrunal Thakur shut paps down when they asked her for a back pose. Palak Tiwari also reprimanded the shutterbugs when they clicked her from behind despite requesting them 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 addresses their behaviour, saying, “I guess they’ve never seen a bu*t 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 bu*t 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?”
Conversations about her going under the knife 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 is 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.”
