Nora Fatehi recalls being asked to date “specific actors” for publicity; says, “My success is not because of another guy”

“I was constantly told, ‘Oh, you know, you should date specific people and date for PR and date this actor and that actor,’” Nora said. “I never listened to any of that, and I’m so glad because now I make the rules, and I work on my own terms, and my success is not because of another guy next to me or another hero that I’m hanging on to. It’s on my own, and everyone else is just a plus. So, I’m very proud of that.”

Nora also said that she ignored other’s advice, such as not doing songs or reality shows. She said that she wanted to focus on opening up another market and going international, and she didn’t listen to the people who told her to focus on one thing.

“A lot of things I didn’t listen to and a lot of them are the reasons why I am who I am today,” Nora said. “One was, don’t do songs. Another one is, don’t do reality shows. Another is, you know, I remember there was this one person who, after the success of ‘Dilbar,’ I was saying, ‘Alright, now I want to also focus on opening up another market. I want to go international. Let’s do here, let’s do outside’. And the response I got was, ‘Okay, no, focus on one thing, that’s it.’ You know, so I didn’t like that response, so I went on and started doing international stuff at the same time, and I’m doing it both, and it’s working great for me.”

Nora is currently working on her dance reality show Hip Hop India on Amazon miniTV. She is also all set to make her Telugu film debut opposite Varun Tej in Karuna Kumar directorial Matka.
