Nora Fatehi is one of Bollywood’s most popular actresses, known for her electrifying dance moves. Fatehi, who rose to fame with the song Dilbar, is not just an actor but also a dance icon for many. However, while Nora is widely admired today, there was a time when she had to endure difficult experiences. In one of her old interviews, Nora revealed that a co-star had once slapped her and even pulled her hair on a film set. Scroll down to read the full story.
Nora Fatehi was slapped by her co-star
The incident dates back to 2014, when Nora made her acting debut with Roar: Tigers of the Sundarbans. During the shoot of one of the scenes, she had to perform a fight sequence with her co-star, but things soon turned ugly. Years later, Nora Fatehi recalled the incident during her appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show, where she was promoting the song Jehda Nasha from An Action Hero alongside Ayushmann Khurrana.
Nora claimed that her co-star misbehaved with her so she slapped the actor back and even pulled her hair. “We were shooting in the jungles of Sunderbans in Bangladesh. There was a co-actor who was ‘badtameez‘ (ill-mannered). So, I slapped him,” Nora shared.
Fatehi continued, “I slapped him again. Then, he pulled my hair. I also pulled his hair. Bohot jhagda hua phir (It turned into a huge fight). The director had to intervene.”
On hearing the story, Kapil joked and said, “Keede padenge usko (he will suffer).” Nora reacted to it by saying, “I swear, such a dog.”
